“The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) 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. O Allah, from You
to
You, on behalf of Muhammad and his nation.’”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 26, Hadith 2
