2799 - Al-Hasan ibn 'Ali narrated to us, 'Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, al-Thawri informed us, from 'Asim ibn Kulayb, from his father, who said:
We were with a man from among the companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, called Mujashi' from the tribe of Sulaym. The sheep became scarce, so he ordered a crier to announce: "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, says: 'The jadha' suffices for what the thani suffices for.'"(1)

--------------------------------------------
The hadith of 'Uqbah ibn 'Amir was also narrated by al-Bayhaqi 9/270 via the chain of Yahya ibn 'Abdullah ibn Bukayr, from al-Layth ibn Sa'd, from Yazid ibn Abi Habib, from Abu al-Khayr, from 'Uqbah ibn 'Amir. Yahya added in his narration: "Sacrifice it yourself," and "I do not permit it for anyone after you." He alone narrated the statement "I do not permit it..." Neither 'Amr ibn Khalid al-Harrani nor Qutaybah ibn Sa'id nor Muhammad ibn Ramh mentioned it in their narrations from al-Layth as recorded by al-Bukhari and Muslim. For this reason, Ibn al-Qayyim said in "Tahdhib Sunan Abi Dawud": This addition is not preserved in his hadith, and none of the compilers of the two Sahihs mentioned it. Had it been preserved, they would have mentioned it and not omitted it, for it is not permissible to abbreviate something of that nature, and the numerous narrators do not mention this wording.
Al-Nasa'i (4382) also reported via the chain of Mu'adh ibn 'Abdullah ibn Hubayb, from 'Uqbah ibn 'Amir, who said: We sacrificed with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, a jadha' of sheep. Its chain is good.
See also the remarks of al-Nawawi previously mentioned at the preceding hadith.

(1) Its chain is strong. 'Asim ibn Kulayb — who is Ibn Shihab — and his father are both truthful and beyond reproach, and the rest of its narrators are trustworthy. Al-Thawri is Sufyan ibn Sa'id.
It was also reported by Ibn Majah (3140) via the chain of Sufyan al-Thawri, and by al-Nasa'i (4383) via the chain of Abu al-Ahwas Sallam ibn Sulaym, and (4384) via the chain of Shu'bah ibn al-Hajjaj — all three from 'Asim, with the same content, except that Abu al-Ahwas said in his narration: "from a man of Muzaynah" instead of "a man from the tribe of Sulaym."
It is also in "Musnad Ahmad" (23123) via the chain of Shu'bah, who said: "a man of Muzaynah or Juhaynah." Many scholars have held that when Sufyan al-Thawri and Shu'bah differ, the statement of Sufyan is to be followed.
