- "Eat it from Dhū al-Ḥijjah to Dhū al-Ḥijjah." Meaning: the meat of the sacrificial animals. Narrated by al-Bukhārī in "al-Tārīkh" (4/2/370-371), al-Ṭaḥāwī in "Sharḥ Maʿānī al-Āthār" (2/308), Ibn Ḥibbān in "Ṣaḥīḥ" (7/569/5903), Aḥmad (6/155), and al-Khaṭīb in "al-Mawḍiḥ" (1/202) from Yazīd ibn Abī Yazīd al-Anṣārī from his wife: that she asked ʿĀʾishah about the meat of the sacrificial animals? ʿĀʾishah said: ʿAlī returned to us from a journey, so we offered him some of it, and he said: I will not eat it until I ask the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) about it. She said: So ʿAlī asked him? The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said... and he mentioned it. I say: This isnād is acceptable as a supporting evidence; because this Yazīd, al-Bukhārī mentioned him with this ḥadīth and did not criticize or approve him, and likewise did Ibn Abī Ḥātim (4/2/298). As for Ibn Ḥibbān, he mentioned him in "al-Thiqāt" (7/631) with the narration of al-Ḥārith ibn Yaʿqūb al-Anṣārī from him, who is trustworthy, and two other trustworthy narrators narrated from him as can be deduced from "al-Tārīkh" and "al-Mawḍiḥ"; they are: Bukayr ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Ashajj, and Bakr ibn Sawādah, and a fourth who is ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Ṣāliḥ, and Ibn Ḥibbān mentioned him in "al-Thiqāt" (7/112), and al-Ḥāfiẓ mentioned them in his biography in "al-Taʿjīl" (p. 454); he is truthful, if Allāh wills. As for his wife, I do not know her, and she appeared in Ibn Ḥibbān's narration with the kunyah "Umm Sulaym." Al-Ḥāfiẓ mentioned her in "Kunā al-Nisāʾ" from "al-Taʿjīl" and did not add more than saying about her: "She was mentioned in the biography of her husband Yazīd"!
