Hadith 29273

Yahya related to me from Malik, from 'Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr ibnMuhammad, that Amra bint 'Abd ar-Rahman told him that Ziyad ibn AbiSufyan once wrote to A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah blesshim and grant him peace, saying, "'Abdullah ibn Abbas said thatwhatever was haram for some one doing hajj was also haram for some onewho sent a sacrificial animal until the animal was sacrificed. I havesent one, so write and tell me what you say about this, or tell theman in charge of the animal what to do.Amra said that A'ishasaid, "It is notas Ibn Abbas has said. I once plaited the garlands forthe sacrificial animal of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless himand grant him peace, with my own two hands. Then after that theMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, himselfput the garlands on the animal and then sent it with my father. Andthere was nothing that Allah had made halal forthe Messenger of Allah,may Allah bless him and grant him peace, that was haram for him untilsuch time as the animal had been sacrificed."
