TheYemeni answered, "I am doing what I am doing," and Abdullah ibn Umarsaid to him, "Cut off the locks that are hanging from your head andoffer a sacrificial animal." A woman from Iraq said, "What should hissacrificial animal be, Abu Abd ar-Rahman?" and he said, "Hissacrificial animal?" and she said to him, "What should his sacrificialanimal be?" Abdullah ibn Umar said, "If I could only find a sheep tosacrifice, I would prefer to do that than to fast."
