Al-Quran Surah Al Kauthsar verse 1-3

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ (ا)
فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَانْحَرْ (٢)
إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الأَبْتَرُ (٣

“Verily, We have granted you (O Muhammad وسلم عليه الله صلى) Al-Kauthar (a river in Paradise). {1} Therefore turn in prayer to your Lord and sacrifice (to Him only). For he who hates you (O Muhammad وسلم عليه الله صلى), he will be cut off (from posterity and every good thing in this world and in the Hereafter).

Allah’s Apostle وسلم عليه الله صلى spoke:

عَنْ عَائَشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صلى اللَّهُ علىه وسلم قَالَ مَا عَمِلَ آدَمِيٌّ مِنْ عَمَلٍ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللهِ مِنْ إِهْرَاقِ الدَّمِ اِنَّهَا لَتَأْتِى يَومَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِقُرُوْنِهَا وَأَشْعَارِهَا وَأَظْلَافِهَا وَإِنَّ الدَّمَ لَيَقَعُ مِنَ اللهِ بِمَكَانٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقَعَ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ فَطِيْبُوا بِهَا نَفْسًا* رواه الترمذى كتب الأضاحى

Narrated Aisa from Allah’s Messenger وسلم عليه الله صلى, spoke,” no mankind’s good deed amongst good deeds in the day of sacrifice is preferred most by Allah except flowing blood (slaughtering animal). Verily, the animal / the reward will be presented at the day of resurrection with its horn, feathers, and it's soles. Verily, the blood will have been accepted by Allah before it drops on the earth, so be excited with sacrifice cattle.
