Musnad Ahmad 1279 (Book 5, Hadith 685) #34911
Sacrifice in Obedience to the Prophet

SUMMARY: The hadith is about 'Ali sacrificing two rams on behalf of the Prophet and himself, and his commitment to follow the Prophet's instructions.

It was narrated that 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: The Messenger of Allah instructed me to sacrifice two rams on his behalf, and I like to do that. Muhammad bin 'Ubaid al-Muharibi said in his hadeeth: He sacrificed two rams, one on behalf of the Prophet and one on behalf of himself. Something was said to him (concerning that) and he said: "He ordered me to do it and I will never omit to do it".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ، قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسْنَاءِ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ حَنَشٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَنْ أُضَحِّيَ عَنْهُ بِكَبْشَيْنِ فَأَنَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَفْعَلَهُ وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ فِي حَدِيثِهِ ضَحَّى عَنْهُ بِكَبْشَيْنِ وَاحِدٌ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ وَالْآخَرُ عَنْهُ فَقِيلَ لَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ أَمَرَنِي فَلَا أَدَعُهُ أَبَدًا‏.‏
