Al-Kawthar 108:2–3
Pray and sacrifice for your Lord
فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَٱنْحَرْ ٢ إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ ٱلْأَبْتَرُ ٣
The meaning, simply
So thank your Lord with prayer for Him alone, and with sacrifice in His name alone. As for the one who hates the Prophet, peace be upon him, he is the one cut off from all good.
