Hadith #1

1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ الْبَخْتَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) أَنْ يُعْطَى الْجَزَّارُ مِنْ جُلُودِ الْهَدْيِ وَأَجْلالِهَا شَيْئاً.

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Hafs ibn af-Bakhtariy who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, prohibited giving of the hide, collar and covering of offering animals to the butchers.”



Hadith #2

2ـ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ يُنْتَفَعُ بِجِلْدِ الأُضْحِيَّةِ وَيُشْتَرَى بِهِ الْمَتَاعُ وَإِنْ تُصُدِّقَ بِهِ فَهُوَ أَفْضَلُ وَقَالَ نَحَرَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) بَدَنَةً وَلَمْ يُعْطِ الْجَزَّارِينَ جُلُودَهَا وَلا قَلائِدَهَا وَلا جِلالَهَا وَلَكِنْ تَصَدَّقَ بِهِ وَلا تُعْطِ السَّلاَّخَ مِنْهَا شَيْئاً وَلَكِنْ أَعْطِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ.

2. In the narration of Mu’awiyah ibn ‘Ammar from abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, it is said that the hide of animal for offering can be used for beneficial purposes or purchase thereby goods, but to give them as charity is better. He (the Imam) said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, slaughtered a badanah and did not give its hide to butchers or the decorative items but gave them as charity. You must not give the hide to those who skin animals, but give them from other things.’”
