Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 21, Hadith 216
“ إِنِّي كُنْتُ نَهَيْتُكُمْ أَنْ تَأْكُلُوا لُحُومَ الأَضَاحِي إِلاَّ ثَلاَثًا، فَكُلُوا وَأَطْعِمُوا وَادَّخِرُوا مَا بَدَا لَكُمْ، وَذَكَرْتُ لَكُمْ أَنْ لاَ تَنْتَبِذُوا فِي الظُّرُوفِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ، انْتَبِذُوا فِيمَا رَأَيْتُمْ وَاجْتَنِبُوا كُلَّ مُسْكِرٍ، وَنَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ فَمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَزُورَ فَلْيَزُرْ، وَلاَ تَقُولُوا هُجْرًا ” .

The above hadith is from the Sunan an-Nasa’i collection of hadiths. As one of the six major Hadith collections in Sunni Islam, the Sunan an-Nasa’i holds a position of immense authority. Its compiler, the illustrious scholar Ahmad ibn Shu’ayb al-Nasa’i, dedicated his efforts to creating a work of the highest integrity in the 9th century. The collection encompasses over 5,700 narrations detailing the Prophet Muhammad’s teachings and example. Imam al-Nasa’i’s process was defined by a rigorous and scholarly methodology that prioritized authentic chains of transmission above all else. This meticulous curation, which involved discarding weaker narrations, has cemented the Sunan’s reputation for unparalleled reliability and precision.
