Virtues of Sacrifice -
Udhiyyah(Qurbaani)

"Sacrificing
(animals) has been ordained on every Ummah so that the Name of
Allah is mentioned on these particular animals which Allah has
bestowed on them..." (Surah
An'aam)

sacrifice of camels and cows among the salient features of (the
Deen) of Allah. There is benefit in it for you."
(Surah Hajj)
-
"Neither the flesh
(of the sacrificed animals) nor their blood reach Allah. But,
it is your taqwa (piety and sincerity of heart) which reaches
Him. Convey glad tidings to the sincere ones."
(Surah Hajj)
-
"Perform Salaat for your Rabb and sacrifice (animals)."

Hadhrat Ayesha (radiallahu
anha) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)
said: "During the days of Qurbaani there is no deed of man
more loved by Allah Ta'ala than sacrificing of animals. On the
Day of Qiyaamah the sacrificed animal will arise with its
horns, hair and hoofs. Allah Ta’ala accepts the sacrificed
animal before the blood reaches the ground. Therefore, render
the Qurbaani wholeheartedly and happily." (Ibn
Majah, Tirmizi, Hakim)
-
Hadhrat Zaid bin
Arqam (radiallahu anhu) narrates that the Sahaabah enquired
from Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) about the Qurbaani
practice. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: "It
is the way of your father, Ibraheem (alayhis salaam)." The
Sahabah asked: "What will we acquire by it?" Rasullullah (Sallallahu
Alayhi Wasallam) replied: "A good deed (is recorded for you)
in return for every hair (on its body)." The Sahaabah
asked: "0 Rasulullah! If there is wool on the body?" Rasulullah
(Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: "A good deed in return
for every strand (of wool on its body)."
(Hakim, Ibn Majah)
-
Hadhrat Ali (radiallahu
anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam)
said to Faatimah (radiallahu anha): "0 Faatimah! Get up and
be present at your Qurbaani (when it is about to be
slaughtered). All your sins are forgiven as the first drop of
its blood reaches the earth. Remember that on the Day of
Qurbaani its flesh and blood will be brought and after
increasing it by seventy times, it will be placed in your Scale
of good deeds." Its flesh and blood will be brought and after
increasing it by seventy times, it will be placed in your Scale
of good deeds." Hadhrat Abu Saeed (radiallahu anhu) asked:
"0 Rasulullah! Is this reward exclusive for
the Family of Muhammad? Truly, they deserve such great thawaab-or
is this thawaab for all Muslims as well?"
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "For the
Family of Muhammad as well as for all Muslims in general."
(Isbahaani)

Ali (radiallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu

wholeheartedly, happily and with sincerity of intention will on
the Day of Qiyaamah be a shield against Jahannum for the
sacrificer." (Tibrani)

Hadhrat Abu Hurairah

anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam)

in me and who acknowledges me."

over Jahannum)." (Kanzul

dearer to Allah during the days of Qurbani than the sacrificing
of animals. The sacrificed animal shall come on the Day of
