Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We offered as sacrifice a six-month-old sheep in the presence of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Hadith 5905
أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ الطَّائِيُّ بِمَنْبِجَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ ، عَنْ بَشِيرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، أَنَّ أَبَا بُرْدَةَ بْنَ نِيَارٍ ذَبَحَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَذْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الأَضْحَى ، فَزَعَمَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُعِيدَ أُضْحِيَّةً أَخِّرِي ، قَالَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ : لا أَجِدُ إِلا جَذَعًا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " وَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدْ إِلا جَذَعًا ، فَاذْبَحْهُ " . قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ : أَمْرُهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِإِعَادَةِ الأُضْحِيَّةِ أَمْرُ نَدْبٍ قَصَدَ بِهِ التَّعْلِيمَ ، إِذِ النَّسِيكَةُ لا يَكُونُ فَضْلُهَا إِلا لِمَنْ ذَبْحَهَا بَعْدَ الصَّلاةِ ، فَمَا كَانَ مِنْهَا قَبْلَ الصَّلاةِ فَفِيهِ الْفَضْلُ لا فَضْلَ النَّسِيكَةِ ، لأَنَّ الشَّيْءَ إِذَا جُعِلَ لِفَضْلِ الْوَقْتِ ثُمَّ نُدِبَ إِلَيْهِ ، لَوْ قَدَّمَهُ الإِنْسَانُ عَنْ وَقْتِهِ لَمْ يَجِدْ ذَلِكَ الْفَضْلَ الَّذِي وُعِدَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْفَضْلِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَعْدَمِ الْفَضْلَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْفِعْلِ الْمُقَدَّمِ عَنْ وَقْتِهِ ، وَنَظِيرُ هَذَا أَنَّ صَلاةَ الضُّحَى نُدِبَ إِلَيْهَا لِوَقْتِ الضُّحَى ، فَلَوْ صَلَّى إِنْسَانٌ فِي بَعْضِ اللَّيْلِ يُرِيدُ بِهِ صَلاةَ الضُّحَى لَمْ يُؤْجَرْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرَ صَلاةِ الضُّحَى ، وَإِنْ كَانَ الْفَضْلُ مَوْجُودًا فِي صَلاتِهِ تِلْكَ .
Sayyiduna Abu Burdah bin Niyar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: He slaughtered his animal before the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had performed the sacrifice on the day of Eid al-Adha. Sayyiduna Abu Burdah (may Allah be pleased with him) stated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) ordered him to offer another sacrifice.
Sayyiduna Abu Burdah (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted: I can only find a six-month-old lamb. So the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: If you only find a six-month-old lamb, then slaughter that.
(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) order to offer another sacrifice was as a recommendation and for the purpose of teaching, because the virtue of sacrifice is attained by the one who slaughters after performing the Eid prayer. Whoever sacrifices before the Eid prayer, there is virtue in it, but not the virtue of sacrifice, because when something is specified for a particular time and is declared recommended for that time, if a person does that act before the specified time, he does not attain the virtue promised for doing it at that specific time, although the general virtue of the act is not completely lost. An example of this is that it is recommended to perform the Duha prayer at the time of Duha; if someone performs a prayer at night as the Duha prayer, he will not get the reward of the Duha prayer, but he will get the reward for performing the prayer.
