The Ruling on the Hadith: (I am the son of the two sacrificed)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It is stated in a hadith narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: "I am the son of the two sacrificed." Why did he name himself that, and is this report authentic?
Answer:
It is narrated, but I do not know its authenticity. The "two sacrificed" are Isma'il and 'Abdullah. Isma'il was commanded to be sacrificed, then Allah forgave him and ransomed him with a great ram. As for 'Abdullah, it is narrated that 'Abd al-Muttalib vowed to sacrifice one of his children, and the drawing of lots fell on him—on 'Abdullah—so he ransomed him with one hundred camels and did not sacrifice him. He became known as "the sacrificed" in the sense that he was feared to be sacrificed, but he was not actually sacrificed; rather, he was ransomed just as Isma'il was ransomed.
The presenter: May Allah preserve you, O honorable Shaykh, and may Allah bless you.
