Issues of Eid and Sacrifice
Sacrifice Is Not Permissible Before Eid Prayer
Hadith 342
501- وبه: عن بشير بن يسار عن أبى بردة بن نيار أنه ذبح أضحيته قبل أن يذبح رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يوم الأضحى، فزعم أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أمره أن يعود بضحية أخرى، فقال أبو بردة: لا أجد إلا جذعا، فقال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: ”إن لم تجد إلا جذعا فاذبحه.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Burdah bin Niyar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he slaughtered his sacrifice on the day of Eid al-Adha before the sacrifice (i.e., Eid prayer) of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to offer another sacrifice. Abu Burdah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I have only a Jadh‘ (a one-year-old goat). So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "If you have nothing except a Jadh‘, then slaughter that only."
