Muwatta Malik #1085
Sacrificial Animals
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَا نَحَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْهُ وَعَنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ إِلاَّ بَدَنَةً وَاحِدَةً أَوْ بَقَرَةً وَاحِدَةً . قَالَ مَالِكٌ لاَ أَدْرِي أَيَّتَهُمَا قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ .
Yahya related to me from Malik that Ibn Shihab said, "The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, only
sacrificed one camel or one cow for himself and his family."
Malik said, "I do not know which of them Ibn Shihab said."
