حَدَّثَنَا
سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ
الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
جُنْدَبًا ، قَالَ : شَهِدْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى يَوْمَ عِيدٍ ، ثُمَّ خَطَبَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " مَنْ ذَبَحَ فَلْيُبَدِّلْ مَكَانَهَا ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ ذَبَحَ ، فَلْيَذْبَحْ بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ " .
Narrated Jundub: I witnessed the Prophet offering the `Id prayer (and after finishing it) he delivered a sermon and said, "Whoever has slaughtered his sacrifice (before the prayer) should make up for it (i.e. slaughter another animal) and whoever has not slaughtered his sacrifice yet, should slaughter it by mentioning Allah's Name over it."

Hadith Commentary:
It is clearly evident from this hadith that the sacrificial animal should only be slaughtered after performing the Eid prayer; otherwise, instead of being a sacrifice (qurbani), it will be considered an ordinary slaughter.

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
Hazrat Bara’ bin Azib radi Allahu anhu and his maternal uncle Hazrat Abu Burdah bin Niyar radi Allahu anhu used to live in the same house; for this reason, sometimes the aforementioned incident is attributed by Hazrat Bara’ bin Azib radi Allahu anhu to himself, and at other times he ascribes this incident to his uncle.
The relevance of these ahadith to the chapter heading is as follows: at the time of slaughter (dhabh), a person who is ignorant of the reality is like one who forgets, and there is no blame upon him; similarly, regarding oaths, one who forgets is also not blameworthy.
And Allah knows best.
