Sahih al-Bukhari, 1705
sahihNarrated `Aisha:
I twisted the garlands of the Hadis from the wool which was with me.
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ فَتَلْتُ قَلاَئِدَهَا مِنْ عِهْنٍ كَانَ عِنْدِي.

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 ﷺwhich are placed aaround the necks of the sacrificial animals by interlacing some of the strings with others. She explained that the garlands were made of wool, and mostly, the kind of garlands that are placed on a sacrificial animal is coloured, so that they can be more visible as a sign. 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 means of getting closer to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, and as a way of showing gratitude to Him. This hadeeth shows the legality of putting a garland aaround the neck of the sacrificial animal and letting one’s own wife prepare the garlands for the sacrificial animals. It also points to the legality of making garlands of wool..
