The Qurbani and its Reward

"Whoever honours the symbols of Allah, it is surely from the piety of the hearts." (Surah al-Hajj,
22:52)
Mujahid Rahimahullah says the word "honours" in this context refers to fattening the sacrificial
animals.
Ayesha Radhiailohuanha narrates that Rasullullah Sallallohu Alaihi Wasallam said: "Man does
not do any deed on the day of sacrifice that is more beloved to Allah than causing blood to flow
from the sacrificial animal. The animal will come on the day of resurrection with its horns, hair
and hooves. The blood is accepted by Allah before it can fall to the ground You should
therefore carry this out wholeheartedly." - (Tirmizi)
Ali Radhiallohuanhu narrates that Rasullullah Sallallohu Alaihi Wasallam said: "O Fatima!
Come and witness your sacrificial animal being slaughtered for surely, by the first drop of blood
that lands on the ground, there will be forgiveness for you for every sin. Listen! It will be
brought with its blood and flesh. It will then be placed in your scale of deeds multiplied by 70
times." Abu Sa'id Radhiallohuanhu asked: "O Rasullullah! Is this reward specifically for the
family of Muhammad Sallallohu Alaihi Wasallam for they are worthy of having good set aside
specifically for them, or is it for the family of Muhammad Sallallohu Alaihi Wasallam and the
Muslims in general?" Rasullullah Sallallohu Alaihi Wasallam said: "it is specifically for the
family of Muhammad Sallallohu Alaihi Wasallam and the Muslims in general." - (Targheeb)
Al-Bazzar Rahimahullah narrated the above from Abu Sa'id Radhiallohuanha that Rasullullah
Sallallohu Alaihi Wasallam said "O Fatima come and stand by your sacrificial animal and
witness it being slaughtered for surely, by the the first drop of blood, all your sins will be
forgiven." She asked: "O Rasullullah! Is this reward specifically for us, your family, or is it for us
and the Muslims as well? He replied: "It is for us and for the Muslims." - (Al-Bazaar)
Ali Radhiallohuanhu narrates that the Prophet Sallallohu Alaihi Wasallam said: "O people!
Sacrifice and expect a reward from its blood, for surely, although the blood falls to the ground,
it falls under the protection of Allah," - (Tabrani)
Hasan ibn Ali Radhiallohuanhu narrates that Rasullullah Sallallohu Alaihi Wasallam said: "He
who sacrifices wholeheartedly and expects a reward for his sacrifice, it will be a barrier for him
from the hell-fire" - (Tabrani)
Ibn Abbas Radhiallohuanhu narrates that Rasullullah Sallallohu Alaihi Wasallam said: "Silver is
not spent in anything more beloved to Allah than an animal sacrificed on the day of 'id." -
(Tabrani)
Zayd ibn Arqam Radhiallohuanhu narrates: The companions of Rasullullah Sallallohu Alaihi
Wasallam asked: "What are these sacrificial animals. Oh Rasullullah?" He said: "It is the way
of your father, Ibrahim Alaihi Salaam." They asked: "What is there for us. O Rasullullah?" He
said: "One good deed for every hair." They asked: "What about wool?" He said: "One good
deed for every fibre of wool." - (Ibn Majah)
Nabi Sallallohu alaihi wasallam mentioned on the day of Eid ul Adha that there is no deed that
a person can perform today which is more rewarding than doing his Qurbani. - (Tabrani)
Anas Radhiallohuanhu reported that the Messenger of Allah Sallallohu Alaihi Wasallam
sacrificed with his own hands, two white rams with black markings. He took the name of Allah
and recited the Takbeer. Anas Radhiallohuanhu states that he saw him putting his foot upon
their buttocks and saying: "In the name of Allah. And Allah is the greatest". - (Bukhari-Muslim)

Hadhrat Jabir Radhiallohuanhu reported that the Messenger of Allah Sallallohu Alaihi
Wasallam slaughtered on the day of sacrifice two horned, white and black castrated rams.
When he faced them towards the Qibla, he said: "Verily I turn my face towards the One who
created the heavens and the earth, upon the religion of Ibrahim, being upright, and I am not
one of the polytheists. Verily my prayer, my life and my death are all for Allah, the Lord of the
worlds. There is no partner with him and I have been ordered that, and I am one of the
Muslims. O Allah, it is for you, from Muhammad and his Ummah: In the name of Allah. Allah is
the greatest". He then slaughtered the rams. (Abu Dawood)
