      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»
      fa-qāla rajulun mina n-nāsi “yā rasūla lāhi al-ʕatāʔiru wa-l-farāʔiʕu?” qāla “man šāʔa ʕatara wa-man šāʔa lam yaʕtir wa-man šāʔa farraʕa wa-man 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.”
