Hadith 16485

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ ، وحُجَيْنٌ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ ، عَنْ خَالِهِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّه ، إِنَّا عَجَّلْنَا شَاةَ لَحْمٍ لَنَا ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَقَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ ؟ " ، قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : " تِلْكَ شَاةُ لَحْمٍ " ، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ عِنْدَنَا عَنَاقًا جَذَعَةً هِيَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ مُسِنَّةٍ ، قَالَ : " تُجْزِئُ عَنْهُ ، وَلَا تُجْزِئُ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَهُ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Burdah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he submitted in the court of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah! We have slaughtered our goat very early. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Even before the Eid prayer? I replied in the affirmative, so he said: Then it is just a meat goat. I said: O Messenger of Allah! We have a six-month-old kid which, in our eyes, is better than a year-old animal. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It will suffice for you, but after you, it will not suffice for anyone else.
