حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيکٌ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسْنَائِ عَنْ الْحَکَمِ عَنْ حَنَشٍ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا يُضَحِّي بِکَبْشَيْنِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَا هَذَا فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْصَانِي أَنْ أُضَحِّيَ عَنْهُ فَأَنَا أُضَحِّي عَنْهُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2790
Narrated Hanash: I saw Ali sacrificing two rams; so I asked him: What is this? He replied. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ enjoined upon me to sacrifice on his behalf, so that is what I am doing.
