Ibn 'Abbas (RAA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
"A Muslim's name is sufficient for him, so if he forgets to mention Allah's name when he slaughters an animal, he should mention Allah's name, then eat it." Related by Ad-Daraqutni but there is a weak narrator in its chain. Also there is Muhammad bin Yazid bin Sinan in its chain who is truthful but had a weak memory.
وَعَنِ اِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا; أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -قَالَ: {
Abu Dawud narrated a similar hadith that reads, "The slaughtering (of an animal) by any Muslim is Halal (lawful) whether or not he mentioned Allah's name over it." Its narrators are reliable.
Anas bin Malik (RAA) narrated, "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to sacrifice two two-horned rams, mention Allah's name and say the Takbir (Allahu Akbar or Allah is the Most Great), and place his foot on their sides." In another version, "He slaughtered them with his own hands." Another version has, "Two fat rams,' and another has, 'two precious rams.' Agreed upon.
عَنْ أَنَسِ بنِ مَالِكٍ - رضى الله عنه - { أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -كَانَ يُضَحِّي بِكَبْشَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ, أَقْرَنَيْنِ, وَيُسَمِّي, وَيُكَبِّرُ, وَيَضَعُ رِجْلَهُ عَلَى صِفَاحِهِمَا. وَفِي لَفْظٍ: ذَبَحَهُمَا بِيَدِهِ } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْه ِ (1762) . وَفِي لَفْظِ: { سَمِينَيْنِ } (1763) وَلِأَبِي عَوَانَةَ فِي
Muslim has also reported on the authority of 'Aishah (RAA), "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered a horned ram with black legs, a black belly and black around its eyes, and it was brought for him to sacrifice and he said to 'Aishah (RAA), "Aishah, get the knife." Then he said, "Sharpen it with a stone." When she had done so he took it, then taking it (the ram) he placed it on the ground and slaughtered it. He then said, "Bismillah (In the name of Allah), O Allah, accept it from Muhammad, Muhammad's family and from Muhammad's Ummah (followers)." (Then he sacrificed it.'
Abu Hurairah (RAA) narrated that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:
"He who can afford it but did not offer a sacrifice must not come near our place of prayer." Related by Ahmad and Ibn Majah. Al-Hakim graded it as Sahih. Other Imams said that it is Mawquf (i.e. it is not connected to the Prophet (ﷺ).)

Agreed upon.
