Sub-Chapter (Baab)

Sahih Al Bukhari 968

(Imām Bukhārī narrates): Sulaiman bin Harb narrated to us, he said: Shu'bah narrated to us, from Zubaid from al-Sha'bi from al-Bara, may Allāh be pleased with him, he said that

the Prophet ﷺ gave us a sermon on the day of sacrifice, he said: The first thing with which we begin on this day of ours is that we pray, then we return and perform the nahr (sacrifice). So whoever does these things has attained our Sunnah, and whoever slaughtered before praying, that is only meat which he has prepared for his family, there is nothing of worship in it. Then my maternal uncle, Abu Burdah bin Niyar, may Allāh be pleased with him, stood up, so he said: O Messenger of Allāh! I slaughtered before praying, and I have a kid, six months old, and it is more fattened than a one-year-old goat. He said: Slaughter it in its place, or he said: Slaughter it, and after you a six-month-old kid will not suffice for anyone (as a sacrifice).

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ زُبَيْدٍ عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ خَطَبَنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ قَالَ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا نَبْدَأُ بِهِ فِي يَوْمِنَا هَذَا أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ ثُمَّ نَرْجِعَ فَنَنْحَرَ فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ أَصَابَ سُنَّتَنَا وَمَنْ ذَبَحَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ لَحْمٌ عَجَّلَهُ لِأَهْلِهِ لَيْسَ مِنْ النُّسُكِ فِي شَيْءٍ فَقَامَ خَالِي أَبُو بُرْدَةَ بْنُ نِيَارٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَا ذَبَحْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ وَعِنْدِي جَذَعَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ مُسِنَّةٍ قَالَ اجْعَلْهَا مَكَانَهَا أَوْ قَالَ اذْبَحْهَا وَلَنْ تَجْزِيَ جَذَعَةٌ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ
