968. Narrated Al-Barā': رضى الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ delivered the Khutba (religious talk) on the day of Nahr ('Eid-al-Adhā) and said, "The first thing we do on this day of ours is to offer the prayer [then deliver the Khutba (religious talk)] and then return and slaughter (our sacrifices). So anyone who does so, he acted according to our Sunna (legal ways); and whoever slaughtered before Aṣ-Ṣalāt (the prayer), then it was just meat that he offered to his family and would not be considered as a sacrifice in any way." My uncle Abū Burda bin Niyyār got up and said, "O, Allāh's Messenger! I slaughtered the sacrifice before the Ṣalāt (prayer) but I have a young she-goat which is better than an older sheep." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Slaughter it in lieu of the first and such a goat will not be considered as a sacrifice for anybody else after you.”
