(1) Reported by Ibn Majah, no. 3122, through Abd al-Razzaq → Sufyan al-Thawri → Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn Aqil → Abu Salama → Aisha and Abu Hurayra: “Whenever the Messenger of Allah wished to offer the sacrifice, he purchased two large, fat, horned, castrated rams. He slaughtered one on behalf of his community—all those who attest to Allah’s oneness and to his conveying the message—and the other on behalf of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad.” Al-Busiri states in al-Zawaid, fol. 195: the chain is hasan, although Abd Allah ibn Muhammad is disputed. Al-Bayhaqi (via al-Tabarani) and Ahmad ibn Muni also transmit it with the same chain and wording. Supporting narrations exist from Abu Rafi (Ahmad 6/8), Jabir (Abi Ya‘la), Abu Sa‘id (Abi Ya‘la), and Hudhayfa ibn Asid (al-Tabarani); together they raise the hadith to the level of sahih. See Majma‘ al-Zawaid, 4/21–23. (2) ta‘isat: means “she stumbled and perished.” ta‘s is any kind of fall. One says ta‘istu (with fat-ha on the ‘ayn) when addressing someone directly in supplication, and ta‘is-tu (with kasra) when invoking against someone absent. (3) His biography will be given on p. 61. (4) His biography will be given on p. 30. (5) The manuscript reads al-na‘ar, which is a scribal error; see his biography on p. 60.
