حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، عَنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ شَهِدْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم

الأَضْحَى بِالْمُصَلَّى فَلَمَّا قَضَى خُطْبَتَهُ نَزَلَ عَنْ مِنْبَرِهِ فَأُتِيَ بِكَبْشٍ فَذَبَحَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِيَدِهِ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ هَذَا عَنِّي وَعَمَّنْ لَمْ يُضَحِّ مِنْ أُمَّتِي ‏"

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:

"I attended the Eid Al-Adha' with the Prophet (ﷺ) at the Musalla. When he finished his Khutbah, he descended from his Minbar and was given a male sheep. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) slaughtered it with his hand and said: 'Bismillah, Wa Allahu Akbar, this from me and whoever does not slaughter from my Ummah.'"

Reported by At-Tirmidhi (No. 1521), Abu Dawud (No. 2810) and Ahmad (No. 14308, 14364, 14366).

Al-Mubarakfuri — Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi

( نَزَلَ عَنْ مِنْبَرِهِ ) فِيهِ ثُبُوتُ وُجُودِ الْمِنْبَرِ فِي الْمُصَلَّى وَأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَخْطُبُ عَلَيْهِ. قَوْلُهُ : ( أَنْ يَقُولَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا ذَبَحَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَاَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ) أَيْ بِالْوَاوِ. قَوْلُهُ : ( هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ ) وَأَخْرَجَهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ بِإِسْنَادِ التِّرْمِذِيِّ وَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ. قَوْلُهُ : ( وَالْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَنْطَبٍ يُقَالُ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ جَابِرٍ ) قَالَ الْمُنْذِرِيُّ فِي تَلْخِيصِ السُّنَنِ بَعْدَ نَقْلِ كَلَامِ التِّرْمِذِيِّ هَذَا : وَقَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ الرَّازِيُّ يُشْبِهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَدْرَكَهُ اِنْتَهَى.…
