      فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ: «يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، الْعَتَائِرُ وَٱلْفَرَائِعُ؟» قَالَ «مَنْ شَاءَ عَتَرَ وَمَنْ شَاءَ لَمْ يَعْتِرْ، وَمَنْ شَاءَ فَرَّعَ وَمَنْ شَاءَ لَمْ يُفَرِّعْ فِي الْغَنَمِ أُضْحِيَتُهَا.»
      faqāla rajulun mina n-nāsi: “yā rasūla l-lahi, al-ʕatāʔiru wal-farāʔiʕu?” qāla “man šāʔa ʕatara waman šāʔa lam yaʕtir, waman šāʔa farraʕa waman šāʔa lam yufarriʕ fī l-ḡanami ʔuḍḥiyatuhā.”
      Then a man among the people said: “O Messenger of Allah, what about the goat slaughter and goat firstling slaughter?“ He said: Whoso wishes to offer a goat may do so, and whoso does not wish to may not. Whoso wishes to offer a firstling may do so, and whoso does not wish to may not. And with regard to sheep, a sacrifice should be made.”
