Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 4689 — on the Time of Slaughter
عَنْ زُبَيْدٍ أَخْبَرَنِي وَمَنْصُورٍ وَدَاوُدَ وَابْنِ عَوْنٍ وَمُجَالِدٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ وَهَذَا حَدِيثُ زُبَيْدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الشَّعْبِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَحَدَّثَنَا عِنْدَ سَارِيَةٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَ وَلَوْ كُنْتُ ثَمَّ لَأَخْبَرْتُكُمْ بِمَوْضِعِهَا قَالَ خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا نَبْدَأُ بِهِ فِي يَوْمِنَا هَذَا أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ ثُمَّ نَرْجِعَ فَنَنْحَرَ فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ أَصَابَ سُنَّتَنَا وَمَنْ ذَبَحَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ لَحْمٌ قَدَّمَهُ لِأَهْلِهِ لَيْسَ مِنَ النُّسُكِ فِي شَيْءٍ قَالَ وَذَبَحَ خَالِي أَبُو بُرْدَةَ بْنُ نِيَارٍ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ذَبَحْتُ وَعِنْدِي جَذَعَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ مُسِنَّةٍ قَالَ اجْعَلْهَا مَكَانَهَا وَلَمْ تُجْزِئْ أَوْ تُوفِ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ
Imam Shabi says: Sayyiduna Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated to us near a pillar of the mosque. If I had been there, I would have shown you the exact place. He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed us and said: The first thing we will do today on this day is that we will first perform the Eid prayer, then return to our homes and offer the sacrifice. Whoever does as such has acted upon our Sunnah, and whoever slaughters the animal before the prayer, it is just meat that he has given to his family to eat; it has nothing to do with the sacrifice. Since my uncle, Sayyiduna Abu Burdah bin Niyar (may Allah be pleased with him), had slaughtered before the appointed time, he said: O Messenger of Allah! I have already slaughtered, and now I have a jadha’ah (young animal), but it is better than a two-toothed animal. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then offer it as a sacrifice, but after you, it will not suffice for anyone else.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The sacrificial animal (qurbani) should be slaughtered after the Eid prayer; otherwise, that sacrifice will be invalidated, and if one has the means, the sacrifice should be performed again.
