976. Narrated Al-Barā': رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ 'The Prophet ﷺ went towards Al-Baqī' (the graveyard at Al-Madīna) on the day of ('Eid-al-Adhā) and offered a two Rak'ā Ṣalāt (prayer) (of 'Eid-al-Adhā) and then faced us and said, "On this day of ours, our first act of worship is to offer the Ṣalāt (prayer) [then to deliver the Khutba (religious talk)] and then return and slaughter the sacrifices, and whoever does this, concurs with our Sunna (legal way); and whoever slaughtered his sacrifice before that [i.e. before the Ṣalāt (prayer)] then that was a thing which he prepared earlier for his family and it would not be considered as a Nusuk (sacrifice)". A man stood up and said, "O, Allāh's Messenger! I slaughtered [the animal before the Ṣalāt (prayer)] but I have a young she-goat which is better than an older sheep." The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Slaughter it. But a similar sacrifice will not be sufficient for anybody else after you."

976 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ زُبَيْدٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنِ البَرَاءِ، قَالَ: خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ أَضْحًى إِلَى البَقِيعِ، فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ، وَقَالَ: «إِنَّ أَوَّلَ نُسُكِنَا فِي يَوْمِنَا هَذَا، أَنْ نَبْدَأَ بِالصَّلاَةِ، ثُمَّ نَرْجِعَ، فَنَنْحَرَ، فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ وَافَقَ سُنَّتَنَا، وَمَنْ ذَبَحَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ، فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْءٌ عَجَّلَهُ لِأَهْلِهِ لَيْسَ مِنَ النُّسُكِ فِي شَيْءٍ» فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي ذَبَحْتُ وَعِنْدِي جَذَعَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ مُسِنَّةٍ؟ قَالَ: «اذْبَحْهَا، وَلاَ تَفِي عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ»
