Hadith.3046 - The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) offered a sacrifice of two rams. He slaughtered one with his own hand and said:
"O Allah (swt), this is on behalf of me and on behalf of those from my household who could not offer a sacrifice."
Then he slaughtered the other and said:
"O Allah (swt), this is on behalf of me and on behalf of those in my nation who could not offer a sacrifice."
Similarly, Amir al-Mu'minin (as) would offer a sacrifice on behalf of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) every year. He would slaughter a ram and say:
"In the name of Allah (swt), 'I have set my face firmly towards Him who created the heavens and the earth, inclining towards truth, and I am not of those who associate partners with Allah (swt). Truly, my prayer, my sacrifice, my life, and my death are all for Allah (swt), the Lord (azj) of all the worlds. O Allah (swt), this is from You and for You.'"
Then he would say
"O Allah (swt), this is on behalf of Your Prophet."
Imam (as) would then slaughter the ram and afterward sacrifice another ram for himself.
