Summary
According to the hadith narrated by Aisyah RA, no deed on the day of Eid al-Adha is more beloved to Allah than shedding the blood of the sacrificial animal. The animal will come on the Day of Judgement with its horns, hair and hooves, and will serve as a mount for the one who sacrificed when crossing the sirat bridge. Scholars differ on the grading of the hadith, but al-Mubarakfuri considered it hasan. The sacrifice is a confirmed sunnah (sunat muakkad) for those who meet its conditions.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
