948. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar رضي الله عنهما: 'Umar bought a silk cloak from the market, took it to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Take it and adorn yourself with it during the 'Eid and when the delegations visit you." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ replied, "This dress is for those who have no share (in the Hereafter)". After a long period Allāh's Messenger ﷺ sent a cloak of silk brocade to 'Umar. 'Umar came to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ with the cloak and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! You said that this dress was for those who had no share (in the Hereafter); yet you have sent me this cloak." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said to him, "Sell it and fulfil your needs by it."

Then the same man added, "I have a young she-goat which is dearer to me than the meat of two sheep." The Prophet ﷺ permitted him to slaughter it as a sacrifice. I do not know whether that permission was valid only for him or for others as well.

Narrated Al-Barā' bin 'Āzib رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ delivered the Khutba (religious talk) after offering Aṣ-Ṣalāt (the prayer) on the day of Nahr and said, "Whoever offers the Ṣalāt (prayer) like us and slaughters like us then his Nusuk (sacrifice) will be accepted by Allāh. And whoever slaughters his sacrifice before the Ṣalāt ('Eid prayer) then he has no Nusuk (not done the sacrifice)". Abū Burda bin Niyār, the uncle of Al-Barā' said, "O Allāh's Messenger! I have slaughtered my sheep before the Ṣalāt ('Eid prayer) and I thought today as a day of eating and drinking (not alcoholic drinks), and I liked that my sheep should be the first to be slaughtered in my house. So, I slaughtered my sheep and took my food before coming for the Ṣalāt (prayer)." The Prophet ﷺ said, "The sheep which you have slaughtered is just mutton (not a Nusuk)." He (Abū Burda) said, "O Allāh's Messenger! I have a young she-goat which is dearer to me than two sheep. Will that be sufficient as a Nusuk on my behalf?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes, it will be sufficient for you but it will not be sufficient (as a Nusuk) for anyone else after you."

956. Narrated Abū Sa'īd Al-Khudrī رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ used to proceed to the Musallā (praying place) on the days of 'Eid-al-Fitr and 'Eid-al-Adhā; the first thing to begin with was the Salāt (prayer), and after that he would stand in front of the people and the people would keep sitting in their rows. Then he would preach them, advise them and give them orders. And after that if he wished to send an army for an expedition, he would do so; or if he wanted to give an order he would do so, and then depart. The people followed this legal way till I went out with Marwān, the governor of Al-Madīna, for the Salāt (prayer) of 'Eid-al-Adhā or 'Eid-al-Fitr. When we reached the Musallā, there was a pulpit made by Kathīr bin Aṣ-Ṣalt. Marwān wanted to get up on that pulpit before Aṣ-Ṣalt. I caught hold of his clothes but he pulled them and ascended the pulpit and delivered the Khuṭba (religious talk) before the Salāt (prayer). I said to him, "By Allāh, you have changed (the Prophet's legal way)." He replied, "O Abū Sa'īd! Gone is that which you know." I said, "By Allāh! What I know is better than what I do not know." Marwān said, "People do not sit to listen to our Khuṭba after Aṣ-Ṣalt (prayer), so I delivered the Khuṭba before Aṣ-Ṣalt (prayer)."

965. Narrated Al-Barā' bin 'Āzib رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, "The first thing we do on this day of ours is to offer Ṣalāt [then deliver the Khutba (religious talk)] and then return to slaughter the sacrifice. So, anyone who does so, he acted according to our Sunna (legal way), and whoever slaughtered the sacrifice before Aṣ-Ṣalāt (the prayer), it was just meat which he presented to his family and would not be considered as Nusuk." A person from the Anṣār named Abū Burda bin Niyyār said, "O Allāh's Messenger! I slaughtered the Nusuk (before Aṣ-Ṣalāt) but I have a young she-goat which is better than an older sheep." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Sacrifice it in lieu of the first, but it will be not sufficient (as a sacrifice) for anybody else after you."

He said, "No doubt, it is incumbent upon the Imām to do so and why should they not do so?"

They used to offer the Salāt (prayer) before the Khutba and then deliver the Khutba afterwards. Once the Prophet ﷺ came out (for the 'Eid prayer) as if I were just observing him waving to the people to sit down. He, then accompanied by Bilāl, came crossing the rows till he reached the women. He recited the following Verse: "O Prophet! When believing women come to you to give the Bai'ah (pledge) to you. . . (to the end of the Verse) (V.60:12)." After finishing the recitation he ﷺ said, "O ladies! Are you fulfilling your covenant?" None except one woman said, "Yes." Hasan did not know who was that woman. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then give alms." Bilāl spread his garment and said, "Keep on giving alms. Let my father and mother sacrifice their lives for you (ladies)." So the ladies kept on putting their Fatkhs (big rings) and other kinds of rings in Bilāl's garment." Abdur-Razzāq said, "Fatkhs is a big ring which was used to be worn in the (Pre-Islāmic) Period of Ignorance.

She said, "The husband of my sister took part in twelve holy battles along with the Prophet ﷺ and my sister was with her husband in six of them. My sister said that they used to nurse the sick and treat the wounded. Once she asked: O Allāh's Messenger! If a woman has no veil, is there any harm if she does not come out (on 'Eid day)? The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Her companion should let her share her veil with her, and the women should participate in the good deeds and in the religious gatherings of the believers.’” Hafša added, “When Umm ‘Aṭīyya came, I went to her and asked her, ‘Did you hear anything about such and such a thing?’ Umm ‘Aṭīyya said, ‘Yes, let my father be sacrificed for the Prophet ﷺ. (And whenever she mentioned the name of the Prophet ﷺ she always used to say: Let my father be sacrificed for him). He said, ‘Virgin mature girls staying often screened (or said, ‘Mature girls and virgins staying often screened – Ayyūb is not sure as to which was the word used) and menstruating women should come out (on the ‘Eid day). But the menstruating women should keep away from the Muṣallā. And all the women should participate in the good deeds and in the religious gatherings of the believers.’” Hafša said, “On that I said to Umm ‘Aṭīyya, ‘Also those who are menstruating?’” Umm ‘Aṭīyya replied, “Yes. Do they not present themselves at ‘Arafāt and elsewhere?”.

And whoever slaughtered the sacrifice before the Ṣalāt (prayer), then that was just mutton (i.e. not done his sacrifice)." Abū Burda bin Niyyār stood up and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! By Allāh, I slaughtered my sacrifice before I came out for Aṣ-Ṣalāt ('Eid prayer) and thought that today was the day of eating and drinking (non-alcoholic drinks) and so I made haste (in slaughtering) and ate and also fed my family and neighbours." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "That was just mutton (not a sacrifice)." (1) An-Nahr: Literally means slaughtering of the camels only, and it is done by cutting the carotid arteries at the root of camel's neck. (2) Adh-Dhabh: Means slaughtering of animals other than camels, e.g., sheep, cow, goat etc., and is done by cutting the carotid and jugular blood vessels at the upper part of the neck and not at its root. Then Abū Burda said: "I have a young she-goat and no doubt, it is better than two sheep. Will that be sufficient as a sacrifice for me?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes. But it will not be sufficient for anyone else (as a sacrifice) after you."
