The questioner:
Al-Nayl exists, may Allah reward you, and Nayl al-Awtar exists, yes.
The Shaykh:
Yes. He spoke about its chain of narration.
The questioner:
Shanan?
The Shaykh:
Speak about it.
Another questioner:
Its chain is in Sunan Ibn Majah; its chain is valid. This is al-Shawkani’s statement regarding its hadith.
The Shaykh:
Yes, indeed. The intended meaning is this: that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sacrificed with one sheep, which indicates that the recommended practice (sunnah) is one sheep for the household. However, if the need of the household is for many and one is not sufficient for them, or if there are neighbors who need it, and it is increased for the sake of public benefit, then there is no harm. Yes. Or likewise, if it is in his hands, boasting is all good.
