955. 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."

955 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنِ البَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: خَطَبَنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الأَضْحَى بَعْدَ الصَّلاَةِ، فَقَالَ: «مَنْ صَلَّى صَلاَتَنَا، وَنَسَكَ نُسُكَنَا، فَقَدْ أَصَابَ النُّسُكَ، وَمَنْ نَسَكَ قَبْلَ الصَّلاَةِ، فَإِنَّهُ قَبْلَ الصَّلاَةِ وَلاَ نُسُكَ لَهُ»، فَقَالَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ بْنُ نِيَارٍ خَالُ البَرَاءِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَإِنِّي نَسَكْتُ شَاتِي قَبْلَ الصَّلاَةِ، وَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّ اليَوْمَ يَوْمُ أَكْلٍ وَشُرْبٍ، وَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ تَكُونَ شَاتِي أَوَّلَ مَا يُذْبَحُ فِي بَيْتِي، فَذَبَحْتُ شَاتِي وَتَغَدَّيْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ آتِيَ الصَّلاَةَ، قَالَ: «شَاتُكَ شَاةُ لَحْمٍ» قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَإِنَّ عِنْدَنَا عَنَاقًا لَنَا جَذَعَةً هِيَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ شَاتَيْنِ، أَفَتَجْزِي عَنِّي؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ وَلَنْ تَجْزِيَ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ»
