Hadith 34821
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zubayr al-Makki that
Jabir ibn Abdullah said, "We sacrificed with the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in the year of Hudaybiya, a
camel between seven people, and a cow between seven people."
Muwatta Malik Book 23, Hadith 9

Yahya related to me from Malik from Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman
that Abu Said alKhudri returned from a journey and his family gave him
some meat. He asked whether it was meat from the sacrifice. They
replied that it was. Abu Said said, "Didn't the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, forbid that?" They said,
"There has been a new command from the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, since you went away." Abu Said went out
and made enquiries about it and was told that the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had said,"I forbade you
before to eat meat of the sacrifice after three days, but now eat,
give sadaqa and store up. I forbade you before to make nabidh (by
soaking raisins or dates in water), but now make nabidh, but remember
every intoxicant is haram .I forbade you to visit graves, but now
visit them, and do not use bad language." Muwatta Malik Book 23, Hadith 8

Yahya related to me from Malik from Umara ibn Yasar that Ata ibn
Yasar told him that Abu Ayyub al-Ansari had told him, "We used to
sacrifice one sheep, and a man sacrificed for himself and his family.
Then later on people began to compete with each other and it became
boasting."
Malik said, "The best that I have heard about a
single camel, cow or sheep, is that a man should sacrifice a camel for
himself and his family. He sacrifices a cow or sheep which he owns for
his family, and shares with them in it. It is disapproved for a group
of people to buy a camel, cow or sheep, to share for the ritual and
sacrifices, each man giving a share of its price, and taking a share
of its meat. We have heard the tradition that people do not share in
the ritual. However, it may be that the people of one household can
share." Muwatta Malik Book 23, Hadith 10
