English translation
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."
