حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدِ بْنِ جَبْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ أَهْدَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ مِائَةَ بَدَنَةٍ نَحَرَ مِنْهَا ثَلَاثِينَ بَدَنَةً بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ عَلِيًّا فَنَحَرَ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْهَا وَقَالَ اقْسِمْ لُحُومَهَا وَجِلَالَهَا وَجُلُودَهَا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ وَلَا تُعْطِيَنَّ جَزَّارًا مِنْهَا شَيْئًا وَخُذْ لَنَا مِنْ كُلِّ بَعِيرٍ حُذْيَةً مِنْ لَحْمٍ ثُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا فِي قِدْرٍ وَاحِدَةٍ حَتَّى نَأْكُلَ مِنْ لَحْمِهَا وَنَحْسُوَ مِنْ مَرَقِهَا فَفَعَلَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2359
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: During the Farewell Pilgrimage, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) sacrificed one hundred camels. He slaughtered thirty of them with his own hand, then he ordered 'Ali to slaughter those that were left. And he said: "Share out their meat, blankets and skins among the people, but do not give any of it to the butcher. Take a little meat from each camel for us and put it in a pot, so that we may eat its meat and drink its broth. And he did that.
