5556. Narrated Al-Barā’ bin ‘Āzīb رضي الله عنه: An uncle of mine called Abū Burda, slaughtered his sacrifice before the ‘Eid’ prayer. So Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said to him, “Your (slaughtered) sheep was just mutton (not a sacrifice).” Abū Burda said, “O Allāh’s Messenger! I have got a domestic kid.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Slaughter it (as a sacrifice) but it will not be permissible for anybody other than you.” The Prophet ﷺ added, “Whoever slaughtered his sacrifice before the (‘Eid’) prayer, he only slaughtered for himself, and whoever slaughtered it after the (‘Eid’) Salāt (prayer), he offered his sacrifice properly and followed the legal ways of the Muslims.”

5556 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُطَرِّفٌ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنِ البَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: ضَحَّى خَالٌ لِي، يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ، قَبْلَ الصَّلاَةِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «شَاتُكَ شَاةُ لَحْمٍ» فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ عِنْدِي دَاجِنًا جَذَعَةً مِنَ المَعَزِ، قَالَ: «اذْبَحْهَا، وَلَنْ تَصْلُحَ لِغَيْرِكَ» ثُمَّ قَالَ: «مَنْ ذَبَحَ قَبْلَ الصَّلاَةِ فَإِنَّمَا يَذْبَحُ لِنَفْسِهِ، وَمَنْ ذَبَحَ بَعْدَ الصَّلاَةِ فَقَدْ تَمَّ نُسُكُهُ وَأَصَابَ سُنَّةَ المُسْلِمِينَ» تَابَعَهُ عُبَيْدَةُ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَتَابَعَهُ وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ حُرَيْثٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، وَقَالَ عَاصِمٌ، وَدَاوُدُ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ: «عِنْدِي عَنَاقُ لَبَنٍ» وَقَالَ زُبَيْدٌ، وَفِرَاسٌ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ: «عِنْدِي جَذَعَةٌ» وَقَالَ أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ: حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورٌ: «عَنَاقٌ جَذَعَةٌ» وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ: «عَنَاقٌ جَذَعٌ، عَنَاقُ لَبَنٍ»
