English translation

[5070] 5 - (...) It was narrated from Al-Barâ' bin 'Azib that his maternal uncle Abû Burdah bin Niyâr slaughtered (his sacrifice) before the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ did, and he said: "O Messenger of Allâh, this is a day when meat is not desirable so I hastened to offer my sacrifice in order to feed my family and neighbors and household."[1] The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Repeat your sacrifice." He said: "O Messenger of Allâh, I have a weanling female goat that is better than two sheep for meat." He said: "It is the best of your sacrifice - but no Jadh'ah will suffice for anyone after you."

Arabic text

5 - (1961) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، أَنَّ خَالَهُ أَبَا بُرْدَةَ بْنَ نِيَارٍ، ذَبَحَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَذْبَحَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ هَذَا يَوْمٌ اللَّحْمُ فِيهِ مَكْرُوهٌ، وَإِنِّي عَجَّلْتُ نَسِيكَتِي لِأُطْعِمَ أَهْلِي وَجِيرَانِي وَأَهْلَ دَارِي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَعِدْ نُسُكًا»، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ عِنْدِي عَنَاقَ لَبَنٍ هِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ شَاتَيْ لَحْمٍ، فَقَالَ: «هِيَ خَيْرُ نَسِيكَتَيْكَ، وَلَا تَجْزِي جَذَعَةٌ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ»
