حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو رَمْلَةَ، عَنْ مِخْنَفِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، قَالَ كُنَّا وُقُوفًا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِعَرَفَاتٍ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ عَلَى كُلِّ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ أُضْحِيَةٌ وَعَتِيرَةٌ هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الْعَتِيرَةُ هِيَ الَّتِي تُسَمُّونَهَا الرَّجَبِيَّةَ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ وَلاَ نَعْرِفُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ .
Narrated Mikhnaf bin Sulaim: "We Were Standing With The Prophet (ﷺ) At 'Arafat When I Heard Him Say: 'O You People! For Every Household Each Year Is Udhiyah (Sacrifice) And 'Atirah. Do You Know What An 'Atirah Is ? It Is That Which You Call Ar-Rajabiyyah.'"
[1] Shaikh Al-Albānī graded it Hasan , while the order for ‘Atīrah is abrogated, meaning the order for Udhiyah remains.Reference : Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1518In-book reference : Book 19, Hadith 30English translation : Vol. 3, Book 17, Hadith 1518
Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 1518
Hadith 1518 reports Mikhnaf bin Sulaim standing with the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم at Arafat. He heard the Prophet say to the people that for every household each year is Udhiyah and Atirah. He then explained that Atirah is what they call Ar-Rajabiyyah. For people searching every household qurbani hadith, udhiyah each year, or Atirah Rajabiyyah hadith, the text mentions both annual household sacrifice and the named Atirah. Because another hadith in the batch states “no Fara' or Atirah,” this explanation should not merge the two reports into one ruling. This object only explains the wording provided here. This keeps the reader close to the actual words of the narration.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم addressed the people while they were at Arafat.
- The wording mentions Udhiyah for every household each year.
- The wording also mentions Atirah.
- Atirah is explained here as Ar-Rajabiyyah.
