Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #27679

Qutaibah told us, Yaqoub bin Abdul Rahman told us, on the authority of Amr bin Abi Amr, on the authority of Al-Muttalib, on the authority of Jabir bin Abdullah, he said I witnessed with the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, the Eid al-Adha in the prayer area. When he finished his sermon, he came down from his pulpit and a ram was brought and the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, slaughtered it. He greeted him with his hand and said, “In the name of God, and God is great. This is on my behalf and on behalf of those of my nation who did not sacrifice.” Abu Issa said: This is a strange hadith from This is the view. And the practice of this according to the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and others, is for a man to say when he slaughters with the poison of God, and God is the Greatest. This is the saying of Ibn Al-Mubarak. Al-Muttalib bin Abdullah bin Hantab is said to have not heard from Jabir.
