When slaughtering the ram for Eid, it is Sunnah to recite:
بِسْمِ اللهِ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ
Bismillāhi, Allāhu Akbar
In the name of Allah, Allah is the Greatest.
It is also recommended to say:
اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا مِنْكَ وَلَكَ
Allāhumma hādhā minka wa laka
O Allah, this is from You and for You.
And if slaughtering on behalf of yourself or someone else:
اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنِّي
Allāhumma taqabbal minnī
O Allah, accept it from me.
Or:
اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنْ فُلَانٍ وَآلِ فُلَانٍ
Allāhumma taqabbal min fulān wa āli fulān
O Allah, accept it from so-and-so and the family of so-and-so.
The Prophet ﷺ would say before slaughtering:
“Bismillah, Allahu Akbar. O Allah, this is from You and for You.”
May Allah accept your sacrifice and عبادات. Ameen
