Hadith 6673

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد اللَّهِ : كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ عَازِبٍ : وَكَانَ عِنْدَهُمْ ضَيْفٌ لَهُمْ ، فَأَمَرَ أَهْلَهُ أَنْ يَذْبَحُوا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ ، لِيَأْكُلَ ضَيْفُهُمْ ، فَذَبَحُوا قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ ، فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُعِيدَ الذَّبْحَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، عِنْدِي عَنَاقٌ جَذَعٌ عَنَاقُ لَبَنٍ هِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ شَاتَيْ لَحْمٍ ، فَكَانَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ يَقِفُ فِي هَذَا الْمَكَانِ ، عَنْ حَدِيثِ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، وَيُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ، وَيَقِفُ فِي هَذَا الْمَكَانِ وَيَقُولُ : لَا أَدْرِي أَبَلَغَتِ الرُّخْصَةُ غَيْرَهُ ، أَمْ لَا ، رَوَاهُ أَيُّوبُ ، عَنْ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
Narrated Al-Bara bin Azib that once he had a guest, so he told his family (on the Day of Id-ul-Adha) that they should slaughter the animal for sacrifice before he returned from the ('Id) prayer in order that their guest could take his meal. So his family slaughtered (the animal ) before the prayer. Then they mentioned that event to the Prophet who ordered Al-Bara to slaughter another sacrifice. Al-Bara' said to the Prophet , "I have a young milch she-goat which is better than two sheep for slaughtering." (The sub-narrator, Ibn 'Aun used to say, "I don't know whether the permission (to slaughter a she-goat as a sacrifice) was especially given to Al-Bara' or if it was in general for all the Muslims.") (See Hadith No. 99, Vol. 2.)
