Ziyad bin Abu Sufyan wrote to Ayesha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, saying that Abdullah bin Abbas had stated, "Whoever sends a sacrificial animal is bound by the same restrictions as a pilgrim until the animal is slaughtered. I have sent my sacrificial animal, so write to me with your instructions, or instruct the one in charge of the animal."Amra reported that Ayesha said, "It is not as Ibn Abbas has said. I myself twisted the garlands for the sacrificial animals of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with my own hands. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed the garlands on them with his own hand and sent them with Ubayy. Yet nothing that Allah had made lawful for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became forbidden to him until the sacrificial animal was slaughtered."
أن زياد بن أبي سفيان كتب إلى عائشة زوج النبي ﷺ أن عبد الله بن عباس، قال: من أهدى هديا حرم عليه ما يحرم على الحاج حتى ينحر الهدي، وقد بعثت بهديي فاكتبي إلي بأمرك، أو مري صاحب الهدي. قالت عمرة: قالت عائشة: ليس كما قال ابن عباس أنا فتلت قلائد هدي رسول الله ﷺ بيدي، ثم قلدها رسول الله ﷺ بيده، ثم بعث بها رسول الله ﷺ مع أبي، فلم يحرم على رسول الله ﷺ شيء أحله الله له حتى نحر الهدي.
Malik narrated it in Hajj (51) from Abdullah bin Abu Bakr bin Muhammad, from Amra bint Abdul-Rahman, that she informed him that Ziyad bin Abu Sufyan (and he mentioned it).Bukhari narrated it in Hajj (1700), and Muslim in Hajj (1321:369), both through Malik, with the same wording. They also narrated it through the hadith of Layth, from Ibn Shihab, from Urwa and Amra bint Abdul-Rahman, that Ayesha said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to send sacrificial animals from Madinah, and I would twist the cords for his sacrificial animals, yet he would not avoid any of the things that one in the state of ihram avoids." Bukhari (1698), and Muslim (1321:359).
