Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) states: A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "My father slaughtered his sacrificial animal before offering the (Eid) prayer." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tell your father to first offer the prayer and then offer the sacrifice."
Ahmad and Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; its chain contains a narrator, Huyayy bin Abdullah al-Ma'afiri, whom Yahya bin Ma'in and others declared thiqah (trustworthy), while Ahmad and others called him da'if (weak). The remaining narrators of Tabarani are the narrators of the Sahih.
