Muwatta Malik no. 841

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَرَى عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ يُهْدِي فِي الْحَجِّ بَدَنَتَيْنِ بَدَنَتَيْنِ وَفِي الْعُمْرَةِ بَدَنَةً بَدَنَةً ‏.‏ قَالَ وَرَأَيْتُهُ فِي الْعُمْرَةِ يَنْحَرُ بَدَنَةً وَهِيَ قَائِمَةٌ فِي دَارِ خَالِدِ بْنِ أَسِيدٍ وَكَانَ فِيهَا مَنْزِلُهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ طَعَنَ فِي لَبَّةِ بَدَنَتِهِ حَتَّى خَرَجَتِ الْحَرْبَةُ مِنْ تَحْتِ كَتِفِهَا ‏.‏

“Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Dinar that he used to see Abdullah ibn Umar sacrificing animals two at a time during hajj and one at a time during umra. He said, "I saw him sacrifice an animal during an umra outside the house of Khalid ibn Usayd, where he was staying. I saw him stick his spear in the throat of the animal he was going to sacrifice until the spear came out under its shoulder”
