Origin

Ibraheem Alayhis Salaam was ordered by Allaah to sacrifice his son Ismaeel Alayhis Salaam.

When Ibraheem Alayhis Salaam began moving the knife on his beloved son Ismaeel Alayhis Salaam, the angels were sent with a ram (kabsh?) from Jannah. The angels exclaimed: Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest).

Ibraheem Alayhis Salaam heard the voice of the angels and said: La Ilaha Illallahu Wallahu Akbar (There is none worthy of worship besides Allah and Allah is the Greatest).

Ismaeel Alayhis Salaam heard this conversation and realized that Allah had relieved him from this great trial and so he said, Allahu Akbar Wa Lillahil Hamd (Allah is the Greatest and to Allah belongs all praise) [Shaami]
