عن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ما أنفقت الورق في شيء أحب إلى الله من نحر ينحر في يوم عيد رواه الطبراني في الكبير والأصبهاني (الترغيب والترهيب 2/101)
Hazrat Ibn Abbaas (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “There is no wealth spent on the day of Eid that is more beloved to Allah Ta‘ala than (the wealth spent to purchase) an animal to be slaughtered (for the sake of Allah Ta‘ala).”
Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) reported, “Whoever sends salutations upon Nabi (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) once, Allah Ta‘ala and His angels will send seventy mercies and blessings upon him in return of his one Durood. Hence, whoever wishes to increase his Durood should increase it, and whoever wishes to decrease his Durood should decrease it (i.e. if he wants to earn great rewards, then he should increase his Durood).”
