Sahih al-Bukhari 1497 (Book 25, Hadith 37)
rak`at of the `Asr prayer at Dhul-Hulaifa and then passed the night there till it was dawn; then he rode,
and when he reached Al-Baida’, he praised and glorified Allah and said Takbir (i.e. Al hamdu-li l-lah
and Subhanallah(1) and Allahu-Akbar). Then he and the people along with him recited Talbiya with
the intention of performing Hajj and Umra. When we reached (Mecca) he ordered us to finish the
lhram (after performing the Umra) (only those who had no Hadi (animal for sacrifice) with them were
asked to do so) till the day of Tarwiya that is 8th Dhul-Hijja when they assumed Ihram for Hajj. The
Prophet sacrificed many camels (slaughtering them) with his own hands while standing. While Allah’s
Apostle was in Medina he sacrificed two horned rams black and white in color in the Name of Allah.”
Sahih al-Bukhari 1497 (Book 25, Hadith 37)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
