حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي شُعَيْبٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "

لَا تَذْبَحُوا إِلَّا مُسِنَّةً ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَعْسُرَ عَلَيْكُمْ ، فَتَذْبَحُوا جَذَعَةً مِنَ الضَّأْنِ
