عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ مَوْلَى بَنِي حَارِثَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ابْنِ نِيَارٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ شَهِدْتُ الْعِيدَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَخَالَفَتْنِي امْرَأَتِي حَيْثُ غَدَوْتُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ إِلَى أُضْحِيَّتِي فَذَبَحَتْهَا وَصَنَعَتْ مِنْهَا طَعَامًا قَالَ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَانْصَرَفْتُ إِلَيْهَا جَاءَتْنِي بِطَعَامٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ فَقُلْتُ أَنَّى هَذَا قَالَتْ أُضْحِيَّتُكَ ذَبَحْنَاهَا وَصَنَعْنَا لَكَ مِنْهَا طَعَامًا لِتَغَدَّى إِذَا جِئْتَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ هَذَا لَا يَنْبَغِي قَالَ فَجِئْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَيْسَتْ بِشَيْءٍ مَنْ ذَبَحَ قَبْلَ أَنْ نَفْرُغَ مِنْ نُسُكِنَا فَلَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ فَضَحِّ قَالَ فَالْتَمَسْتُ مُسِنَّةً فَلَمْ أَجِدْهَا قَالَ فَجِئْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَقَدِ الْتَمَسْتُ مُسِنَّةً فَمَا وَجَدْتُهَا قَالَ فَالْتَمِسْ جَذَعًا مِنَ الضَّأْنِ فَضَحِّ بِهِ قَالَ فَرَخَّصَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْجَذَعِ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ فَضَحَّى بِهِ حِينَ لَمْ يَجِدِ الْمُسِنَّةَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Burdah bin Niyar (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I went to perform the Eid prayer with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When I left for the prayer, after me, my wife slaughtered my sacrificial animal and prepared food. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led the prayer and I finished and reached home, my wife brought the food. I said: What is this? She said: It is your sacrifice, we slaughtered it and prepared food for you so that when you come home, you may eat. I said: By Allah! I fear that this act may not be permissible. Anyway, I went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him the whole matter. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is nothing; whoever slaughtered the sacrifice before we finished this prayer, it will have no validity, you must sacrifice again. So I searched for a two-toothed animal, but I could not find it. I then went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: By Allah! O Messenger of Allah! I have searched for a two-toothed animal, but I have not found it, what should I do now? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Find a jadha’ (one-year-old) sheep of the sheep breed and sacrifice it. The narrator says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave this Companion permission to sacrifice a jadha’ sheep of the sheep breed at that time when he could not find a two-toothed animal.
