Musnad of al-Bara bin Azib
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1662 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed us
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ ، قَالَ : خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَوْمَ الْأَضْحَى بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ ، فَقَالَ : مَنْ صَلَّى صَلَاتَنَا وَنَسَكَ نَسِيكَتَنَا ، فَقَدْ أَصَابَ النُّسُكَ ، وَمَنْ نَسَكَ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ ، فَشَاتُهُ شَاةُ لَحْمٍ ، وَلَا نُسُكَ لَهُ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ بْنُ نِيَارٍ خَالُ الْبَرَاءِ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، فَإِنِّي نَسَكْتُ شَاتَيْ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ ، وَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّ الْيَوْمَ يَوْمُ أَكْلٍ وَشُرْبٍ ، وَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ تَكُونَ شَاتَيْ أَوَّلَ شَيْءٍ يُذْبَحُ فِي بَيْتِي ، فَذَبَحْتُ شَاتَيْ ، وَتَغَدَّيْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ آتِيَ الصَّلَاةَ ، قَالَ : شَاتُكَ شَاةُ لَحْمٍ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، فَإِنَّ عِنْدَنَا عَنَاقًا لَنَا جَذَعَةً هِيَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ شَاتَيْنِ ، أَفَتَجْزِي عَنِّي ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، وَلَنْ تَجْزِي 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 Eid al-Adha after the prayer and said: "Whoever prays as we pray and sacrifices as we sacrifice, his sacrifice is valid; and whoever slaughters before the prayer, his goat is merely meat, and he has no sacrifice (to his credit)." At this Sayyiduna Abu Burdah bin Niyar (may Allah be pleased with him), the maternal uncle of Sayyiduna al-Bara', said: "O Messenger of Allah, I slaughtered my goat before the prayer. I thought that today is a day of eating and drinking, and I wished that my goat be the first thing slaughtered in my house. So I slaughtered it and also ate a meal before coming to the prayer." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your goat is only a goat for meat." He said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have a young goat ('anaq jadha'ah) which is dearer to me than two goats. Will it suffice on my behalf?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, but it (a jadha'ah) will never suffice for anyone else after you."
