Ḥadīth 3

3081 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَلَبِيُّ عَنْهُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : «لاَ يَذْبَحْ لَكَ اَلْيَهُودِيُّ وَ لاَ اَلنَّصْرَانِيُّ أُضْحِيَّتَكَ وَ إِنْ كَانَتِ اِمْرَأَةٌ فَلْتَذْبَحْ لِنَفْسِهَا وَ تَسْتَقْبِلُ اَلْقِبْلَةَ وَ تَقُولُ: «وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ اَلسَّمٰاوٰاتِ وَ اَلْأَرْضَ حَنِيفاً» مُسْلِماً اَللَّهُمَّ مِنْكَ وَ لَكَ ».

Hadith.3081 - Al-Halabi narrated from Imam (as) that he said: "A Jew or a Christian should not slaughter your sacrificial animal for you. If it is a woman, she should slaughter for herself, face the Qiblah, and say: 'I have turned my face towards the One who created the heavens and the earth, inclining to the truth, as a submitter [to Allah (swt)]. O Allah (swt), this is from You and for You.'"

3082 - وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ «۝ فَاذْكُرُوا اِسْمَ اَللّٰهِ عَلَيْهٰا صَوٰافَّ ۝» قَالَ «ذَلِكَ حِينَ تَصُفُّ لِلنَّحْرِ وَ تَرْبِطُ يَدَيْهَا مَا بَيْنَ اَلْخُفِّ إِلَى اَلرُّكْبَةِ وَ وُجُوبُ جُنُوبِهَا إِذَا وَقَعَتْ إِلَى اَلْأَرْضِ ».

Hadith.3082 - Abdullah ibn Sinan narrated from Imam Abu Abdullah (as) regarding the words of Allah (swt), the Exalted: "So mention the name of Allah (swt) upon them while they are lined up [for sacrifice]" (Surah Al-Hajj 22:36). Imam (as) said: "This refers to when they are positioned for sacrifice, and their forelegs are tied from the hooves to the knees, and their sides fall to the ground after they are slaughtered."

3084 - وَ رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ عَنْهُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : «إِذَا اِشْتَرَيْتَ هَدْيَكَ فَاسْتَقْبِلْ بِهِ اَلْقِبْلَةَ وَ اِنْحَرْهُ أَوِ اِذْبَحْهُ وَ قُلْ «وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ اَلسَّمٰاوٰاتِ وَ اَلْأَرْضَ حَنِيفاً» مُسْلِماً «وَ مٰا أَنَا مِنَ اَلْمُشْرِكِينَ » «إِنَّ صَلاٰتِي وَ نُسُكِي وَ مَحْيٰايَ وَ مَمٰاتِي لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ اَلْعٰالَمِينَ `لاٰ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ بِذٰلِكَ أُمِرْتُ» وَ أَنَا مِنَ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ اَللَّهُمَّ مِنْكَ وَ لَكَ بِسْمِ اَللَّهِ وَ اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اَللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنِّي ثُمَّ أَمِرَّ اَلسِّكِّينَ وَ لاَ تَنْخَعْهَا حَتَّى تَمُوتَ ».

Hadith.3084 - Muawiyah ibn Ammar narrated from Imam (as) that he said: "When you purchase your hady (sacrificial animal), face it towards the Qiblah and slaughter or sacrifice it, and say: 'I have turned my face towards the One who created the heavens and the earth, inclining to the truth, as a submitter [to Allah (swt)], and I am not among the polytheists. Indeed, my prayer, my sacrifice, my life, and my death are for Allah (swt), the Lord (azj) of the worlds. He has no partner, and with this, I have been commanded, and I am among the submitters. O Allah (swt), this is from You and for You. In name of Allah (swt), Allah (swt) is the Greatest. O Allah (swt), accept it from me.' Then pass the knife over it, but do not sever its spinal cord until it dies."
