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.)

Hadith Commentary:
Saeed bin Jubair narrated before Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) the statement of Nauf Bakkali, who claimed that the Musa (Moses) associated with Khidr was not the Israelite Musa, but rather some other Musa.
Upon this, Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) refuted the statement of Nauf Bakkali by narrating the report of Ubayy bin Ka'b (radi Allahu anhu), clarifying that it was indeed the Israelite Musa. He was the one who forgot the condition he had made with Khidr, and thus uttered the words "Do not take me to task..." etc.
The reason for relevance is the same: Musa (alayhis salam) did not consider forgetfulness and error as deserving of reproach, and Khidr (alayhis salam) also forgave this forgetfulness.
Anas bin Malik al-Khazraji (radi Allahu anhu) entered into the service of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) at the age of ten and continued to have the honor of special service until the end.
During the era of Umar (radi Allahu anhu), he resided in Basra as a preacher of Islam and passed away in Basra in the year 91 AH at the age of 103.
At the time of his death, he left behind nearly one hundred children. His mother’s name was Umm Sulaym bint Milhan.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
Among the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum), there are two individuals who, due to specific circumstances, were granted permission to slaughter a one-year-old kid goat as a sacrificial animal (udhiyah/qurbani). One is Abu Burdah ibn Niyar (radi Allahu anhu). He is the maternal uncle of al-Bara’ ibn Azib (radi Allahu anhu). The second is Uqbah ibn Amir (radi Allahu anhu), who was appointed to distribute the sacrificial animals. They were granted this special permission due to their sincerity of intention and zeal for following (the Sunnah), but it was also clarified that others are not permitted to do so. Although there are explicit statements regarding some other individuals as well, those narrations are questionable.
(2)
In any case, the scholars of the Ummah are unanimous that, no matter how fat and healthy a kid goat may be, it cannot be slaughtered as a sacrificial animal (udhiyah/qurbani); for this, it is necessary that it has two permanent teeth (i.e., it must be at least a two-tooth animal). And Allah knows best. (Fath al-Bari: 10/20)
