English Translation

Yahya (upon him be peace) related to me from Malik, from 'Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr ibn Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), that Amra bint 'Abd ar-Rahman told him that Ziyad ibn Abi Sufyan once wrote to Hadrat A'isha, the wife of the Noble Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) saying, "'Abdullah ibn Abbas said that whatever was haram for some one doing hajj was also haram for some one who sent a sacrificial animal until the animal was sacrificed. I have sent one, so write and tell me what you say about this, or tell the man in charge of the animal what to do. Amra said that a'isha said, "It is notas Hadrat Ibn Abbas has said. I once plaited the garlands for the sacrificial animal of the Beloved Messenger of Allah with my own two hands. Then after that the Beloved Messenger of Allah himself put the garlands on the animal and then sent it with my father. And there was nothing that Allah had made halal forthe Beloved Messenger of Allah that was haram for him until such time as the animal had been sacrificed."
