Hadith 34823
Yahya related to me from Malik that Ibn Shihab said, "The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, only
sacrificed one camel or one cow for himself and his family."
Malik said, "I do not know which of them Ibn Shihab said."

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
