أَخْبَرَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ دِينَارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ صَالِحٍ - عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ - يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم - يَذْبَحُهُمَا بِيَدِهِ وَاضِعًا عَلَى صِفَاحِهِمَا قَدَمَهُ يُسَمِّي وَيُكَبِّرُ كَبْشَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ .

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 4417
Anas said that he saw the Prophet slaughter two horned, Amlah rams with his own hand. The Prophet placed his foot on their sides, mentioned the name of Allah, and said Allahu Akbar. This short hadith gives a vivid account of the Prophet's personal Qurbani. The key actions are all inside the narration: selecting the two described rams, positioning them, saying Allah's name and the takbir, and carrying out the slaughter himself. Readers often search for the Prophet sacrifice hadith or the words said during Qurbani. This report directly answers those searches without needing extra stories. It should also be explained carefully: it records what Anas witnessed in this sacrifice and does not, by itself, set out every rule related to Eid al-Adha offerings.
What we learn from this hadith
- Anas personally witnessed the Prophet's sacrifice.
- The Prophet slaughtered two horned, Amlah rams.
- He mentioned Allah's name and said Allahu Akbar.
- He performed the slaughter with his own hand.
