Hadith 9731

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umarthat when he brought an animal to be sacrificed from Madina he wouldgarland it and brand it at Dhu'l-Hulayfa, doing the garlanding beforethe branding, but doing both in the same place, while facing theqibla. He would garland the animal with two sandals and brand it onits left side. It would then be driven with him until he observed thestanding together with everybody at Arafa. Then he would drive it onwith him when everybody else moved on, and then when he arrived atMina on the morning of the sacrifice, he would sacrifice the animal,before he shaved his head. He would sacrifice the animals with his ownhands ,lining them up standing and facing the qibla. He would then eatsome of the meat, and give some of it away.
