Chapter on Sacrificial Offerings

1281. hadíth

وَ جَاءَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهَا إِلَى اَلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ يَحْضُرُ اَلْأَضْحَى وَ لَيْسَ عِنْدِي ثَمَنُ اَلْأُضْحِيَّةِ فَأَسْتَقْرِضُ وَ أُضَحِّي قَالَ «فَاسْتَقْرِضِي فَإِنَّهُ دَيْنٌ مَقْضِيٌّ ».

It is narrated that Umm Salama (may Allah (swt) be pleased with her) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and said: "O Messenger of Allah (swt), the time for sacrifice (Udhiyya) has come, and I do not have the means to afford the sacrificial animal. Should I take a loan and offer the sacrifice?" Imam (a.s) replied: "Take the loan, for it is a debt that will be repaid."
