Hadith Narrated by Jabir bin Abdullah

"The Messenger of Allah (saw) sat in Mina, on the Day of Sacrifice, for the people (to come and speak to him). A man came to him and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I shaved my head before I slaughtered my sacrifice.' He said: 'There is no harm in that.' Then another man came and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I slaughtered my sacrifice before I stoned (the Pillar).' He said: 'There is no harm in that.' And he was not asked that day about anything being done before another but he replied: 'There is no harm in that.'"

"I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: 'The water of Zamzam is for whatever it is drunk for.'"

"The Messenger of Allah (saw) sacrificed two rams on the Day of Eid. When he turned them to face towards the prayer direction he said: 'Verily, I have turned my face towards Him Who has created the heavens and the earth, as a monotheist, and I am not of the polytheists. Verily, my prayer, my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of all that exists. He has no partner. And of this I have been commanded, and I am the first of the Muslims. [6:79,162-163] O Allah, from You to You, on behalf of Muhammad and his nation.'"
