Sayyiduna Sahl bin Hathmah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Abu Burdah bin Niyar (may Allah be pleased with him) slaughtered his animal at the time of suhur (before dawn). When he had finished, he mentioned this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever slaughters an animal before the prayer, that will not count as a sacrifice; the sacrifice is the animal that is slaughtered after the (Eid) prayer. Go and offer a sacrifice. He said: O Messenger of Allah! I did not find anything for the sacrifice, and now I have only a young goat. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go and sacrifice that very one! And after you there will be no concession in this matter for anyone else."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Al-Dhahabi says: The hadith he narrates is munkar (denounced). He also mentioned another hadith from Sayyiduna Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) besides this one. And Allah knows best.
