Sahih al-Bukhari, 1704
sahihNarrated `Aisha:
I twisted (the garlands) for the Hadis of the Prophet (ﷺ) before he assumed Ihram.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ فَتَلْتُ لِهَدْىِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ تَعْنِي الْقَلاَئِدَ ـ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُحْرِمَ.

Sharh · explanationclick to expand
Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has venerated the Sacred House. His Prophet ﷺas well has done likewise. He ﷺhas practically demonstrated as a Sunnah act that when a person himself does not go to the Haram to perform Hajj, then he should send a sacrificial animal to venerate the place and be more accommodative towards the poor of Makkah. In this hadeeth, the Mother of the Believers, ‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reports that she prepared the garlands for the Hady of the Prophet ﷺ, i.e. she made collars which are placed aaround the necks of the sacrificial animals by interlacing some of the strings with other strings. The word “Hady” is a noun used for the animal that is offered for sacrifice among the camels, cows, sheep, or goats – to the Sacred Vicinity (Al-Haram) in order to be slaughtered there as a means of getting closer to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, and as a way of showing gratitude to Him. Her statement, “Before he entered into the state of Ihraam,” has the possibility to mean, before the year in which he entered into the state of Ihraam for Hajj; he ﷺsent the sacrificial animal with Aboo Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) in the ninth year. It is also possible that she informed in this narration about his state in the year of his entering into his state of Ihraam. That is the tenth year of the Hijrah. This hadeeth highlights the legality of putting a garland aaround the neck of the sacrificial animal and letting the wife prepare the garlands for the sacrificial animals. It highlights the legality of sending the sacrificial animal to the Haram by one who is unable to perform Hajj or ‘Umrah and does not travel with it..
