حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْمَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَکْرٍ الْبُرْسَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ قَالَ عَطَائٌ الْخُرَاسَانِيُّ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّ عَلَيَّ بَدَنَةً وَأَنَا مُوسِرٌ بِهَا وَلَا أَجِدُهَا فَأَشْتَرِيَهَا فَأَمَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَبْتَاعَ سَبْعَ شِيَاهٍ فَيَذْبَحَهُنَّ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3136
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that a man came to the Prophet and said: "I have to offer a sacrifice and I can afford it, but I cannot find (a camel) to buy." The Prophet told him to buy seven sheep and slaughter them.
