Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ عَنِ الْجَهْمِ بْنِ الْجَارُودِ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ أَهْدَى عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ بُخْتِيَّةً أُعْطِيَ بِهَا ثَلَاثَ مِائَةِ دِينَارٍ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَهْدَيْتُ بُخْتِيَّةً لِي أُعْطِيتُ بِهَا ثَلَاثَ مِائَةِ دِينَارٍ فَأَنْحَرُهَا أَوْ أَشْتَرِي بِثَمَنِهَا بُدْنًا قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنْ انْحَرْهَا إِيَّاهَا.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Salamah told us, from Abu Abdur-Rahim, from al-Jahm ibn al-Jarud, from Salim, from his father, who said: Umar ibn al-Khattab set aside as a sacrificial offering a Bactrian she-camel for which he was offered three hundred dinars. He came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, I dedicated a Bactrian she-camel of mine as an offering, and I was offered three hundred dinars for it; shall I slaughter it, or buy sacrificial camels with its price? He said: No, rather slaughter it itself.
