During Hajjat-ul-Wida (the Farewell Pilgrimage) in 10 AH, the Holy Prophet (PBUH) sacrificed 63 camels with his own blessed hands, one camel for each year of his life. The remaining camels from the total of 100 were sacrificed by his cousin and son-in-law, Hazrat Ali (R.A). This act established the sunnah of animal sacrifice during Hajj, known as Hady, which is obligatory upon pilgrims performing Hajj-e-Qiran and Hajj-e-Tamattu.
The Farewell Hajj (Hajjat-ul-Wida) took place in the 10th year of Hijrah and was the only Hajj performed by the Holy Prophet (PBUH) after the obligation of Hajj was prescribed. The Prophet (PBUH) took 100 camels for sacrifice; he personally sacrificed 63 camels, while Hazrat Ali (R.A) sacrificed the remaining 37. The number 63 corresponds to the age of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) at the time of his passing. During this Hajj, the famous Farewell Sermon (Khutba Hajjat-ul-Wida) was delivered on the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah at Mount Arafat.
