Then he (meaning the Prophet ﷺ) ordered that a piece be taken from each sacrificial camel and placed in a pot to be cooked. They ate from its meat and drank from its broth.
ثم أمر (يعني النبي ﷺ) من كل بدنة ببضعة، فجعلت في قدر، فطبخت فأكلا من لحمها، وشربا من مرقها.
Muslim narrated it in the Hajj chapter (1218), by way of Hatim bin Ismail Madani, from Jafar bin Muhammad bin Ali bin Husayn bin Abu Talib, from his father, from Jabir, mentioning it within the long hadith describing the Prophet's ﷺ Hajj.As for what was narrated from Ibn Abbas, who said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ brought a hundred camels as sacrificial offerings during the Farewell Hajj. He slaughtered thirty of them with his own hand, then commanded Ali, who slaughtered the rest. He said, 'Distribute their meat, their coverings, and their hides among the people, and do not give a butcher anything from them as payment. Take for us from every camel a portion of meat, then put it all in a single pot so that we may eat from its meat and drink from its broth.'" And this was done. But this narration contains an unnamed man in its chain.Ahmad narrated it (2359) from Yaqub, who said, my father narrated to me, from Ishaq, who said, a man narrated to me, from Abdullah bin Abu Najeeh, from Mujahid bin Jabr, from Ibn Abbas, mentioning it. The teacher of Muhammad bin Ishaq is not named in this chain, and the text itself contains an oddity, for it is established in the sahih narration from Jabir that the Prophet ﷺ slaughtered sixty-three camels from his sacrificial offering himself, then gave the rest to Ali, who slaughtered what remained.Likewise, what Abu Dawud narrated (1764) by another route is not sound, from Muhammad bin Ishaq, from Ibn Abu Najeeh, from Mujahid, from Abdul-Rahman bin Abu Layla, from Ali bin Abu Talib, who said, "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to slaughter his sacrificial camels, he slaughtered thirty with his own hand, then commanded me, and I slaughtered the rest." Imam Ahmad also narrated it (1374) by this same route, adding, "Distribute their meat among the people, along with their hides and coverings, and do not give a butcher anything from them as payment."So Muhammad bin Ishaq gave conflicting accounts, for in one version of the hadith he said, a man narrated to me from Abdullah bin Abu Najeeh, while in this hadith he made Abdullah bin Abu Najeeh himself his direct teacher. This is inconsistency, compounded by an oddity in the text itself.
