sacrifice one

“I asked Abu Ayyub
Al-
Ansari: ‘How were sacrifices offered among you at the time of
the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?’ He said: ‘At the time of the
Prophet (ﷺ),
a man would sacrifice a sheep on behalf of himself and
the members of
his household, and they would eat some of it and give
some to others.
Then people started to compete and it because as you
see (nowadays).’”
