   • 7th century CE, Sunan an-Nasāʾiyy, 14:22:

     قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ صَلَّى ٱللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «ٱلْمُهَجِّرُ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ كَٱلْمُهْدِي بَدَنَةً ثُمَّ كَٱلْمُهْدِي بَقَرَةً ثُمَّ كَٱلْمُهْدِي شَاةً ثُمَّ كَٱلْمُهْدِي بَطَّةً ثُمَّ كَٱلْمُهْدِي دَجَاجَةً ثُمَّ كَٱلْمُهْدِي بَيْضَةً».

     qāla faqāla rasūlu l-lahi ṣallā llāhu ʕalayhi wasallama “l-muhajjiru ʔilā l-jumuʕati ka-l-muhdī badanatan ṯumma ka-l-muhdī baqaratan ṯumma ka-l-muhdī šātan ṯumma ka-l-muhdī baṭṭatan ṯumma ka-l-muhdī dajājatan ṯumma ka-l-muhdī bayḍatan”.

     The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “The one who comes early to the Friday prayer is like one who sacrifices a camel, then like one who sacrifices a cow, then like one who sacrifices a sheep, then like one who sacrifices a duck, then like one who sacrifices a chicken, then like one who sacrifices an egg.”
