حَدِيثُ جَدِّ أَبِي الْأَشَدِّ السُلَمِيِّ، ١٥٤٩٤ - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ زُفَرَ الْجُهَنِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْأَشَدِّ السُّلَمِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ سَابِعَ سَبْعَةٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: فَأَمَرَنَا نَجْمَعُ (١) لِكُلِّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا دِرْهَمًا، فَاشْتَرَيْنَا أُضْحِيَّةً بِسَبْعَةِ (٢) الدَّرَاهِمِ، (٣) فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لَقَدْ أَغْلَيْنَا بِهَا؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ الضَّحَايَا أَغْلَاهَا، وَأَسْمَنُهَا "، وَأَمَرَ (٤) رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخَذَ رَجُلٌ بِرِجْلٍ، وَرَجُلٌ بِرِجْلٍ، وَرَجُلٌ بِيَدٍ، وَرَجُلٌ بِيَدٍ وَرَجُلٌ بِقَرْنٍ، وَرَجُلٌ بِقَرْنٍ، وَذَبَحَهَا السَّابِعُ، وَكَبَّرْنَا عَلَيْهَا جَمِيعًا (٥)، ،

English translation
Abu Ashadd’s grandfather says that I was once among seven individuals with the Prophet (peace be upon him). The Prophet (peace be upon him) instructed us, and each of us contributed one dirham. With seven dirhams, we bought a sacrificial animal. Then we said: O Messenger of Allah! This seems expensive to us. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: The best sacrifice is the one that is more expensive and the animal is healthier. Then, by the order of the Prophet (peace be upon him), four men held each of its legs, and two held each of its horns, and all seven of us slaughtered it, and we all recited takbeer over it.
