Musnad of al-Bara bin Azib
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1661 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed us
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ ، قَالَ : خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي يَوْمِ نَحْرٍ ، فَقَالَ : أَلَا لَا يَذْبَحَنَّ أَحَدٌ حَتَّى يُصَلِّي ، فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، هَذَا يَوْمٌ اللَّحْمُ فِيهِ مَكْرُوهٌ ، وَإِنِّي عَجَّلْتُ نَسِيكَتِي لِأُطْعِمَ أَهْلِي وَأَهْلَ دَارِي ، أَوْ أَهْلِي وَجِيرَانِي ، قَالَ : فَقَدْ فَعَلْتَ فَأَعِدْ ذَبْحًا آخَرَ ، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، عِنْدِي عَنَاقُ لَبَنٍ ، هِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ شَاتَيْ لَحْمٍ ، أَفَأَذْبَحُهَا ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، وَهِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ نَسِيكَتِكَ ، وَلَا تَقْضِي جَذَعَةٌ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed us on the Day of Sacrifice and said: "Beware! Let none of you slaughter his sacrifice before he has offered the (Eid) prayer." At this a man stood up and said: "O Messenger of Allah, this is a day of eating meat in which (delay) is disliked, and I hastened my sacrifice so that I could feed my family and my household," or (the narrator was unsure) he said, "my family and my neighbours." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have already done it; now offer another sacrifice in its place." He said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have a young she-goat that is still suckling, yet it is better than two goats kept for meat. Shall I slaughter it?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, and it is better than your (first) sacrifice; but a jadha'ah (an animal under the required age) will not suffice for anyone (as a sacrifice) after you."
