Hazrat Aaisha (radhiyallahu anha) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, “There is no action that a servant carries out during the days of qurbaani which is dearer and more beloved to Allah Ta’ala than the spilling of blood (i.e. the sacrificing of animals). The sacrificed animal shall come on the Day of Qiyaamah with its horns, hair and hooves. The sacrifice is accepted by Allah Ta’ala even before the blood reaches the ground. Therefore, happily carry out the qurbaani (i.e. with your heart being pleased and happy to fulfil the command of Allah Ta’ala.)”

Its meat and blood will be placed in your scale of good deeds and multiplied seventy times.” Hazrat Abu Sa’eed (radhiyallahu anhu) asked Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), “O Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)! Is this reward exclusively reserved for your family, as they are entitled to special grace or is this reward for all Muslims?” Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) replied, “It has specifically been revealed in regard to my family but it (the virtue and reward) is also for my ummah in general.”
