حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ ، عَنْ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ ، قَالَ : ذَبَحَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَبْدِلْهَا ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، لَيْسَ عِنْدِي إِلَّا جَذَعَةٌ ، قَالَ شُعْبَةُ : وَأَظُنُّهُ قَالَ وَهِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ مُسِنَّةٍ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " اجْعَلْهَا مَكَانَهَا وَلَنْ تَجْزِيَ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ " .
Al-Bara' bin 'Azib (RA) reported that Abu Burda slaughtered the animal as a sacrifice before the ('Id) prayer. Thereupon Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: Offer a substitute for it (since it does not absolve you of the responsibility of sacrifice). Thereupon he said: Allah's Messenger. I have nothing with me but a goat of less than six months. Shu'bah (one of the narrators) said: I think he (al-Bara' bin 'Azib (RA) also) said: And it is better than a goat of one year. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Make it a substitute for that (and sacrifice it), but it will not suffice for anyone (as a sacrifice) after you.
