English translation

4373. It was narrated that Jundub bin Sufyân said: "I attended (the day of) sacrifice with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. He led the people in prayer, then when he finished praying he saw some sheep that had been sacrificed. He said: 'Whoever slaughtered (his sacrifice) before the prayer, let him slaughter a sheep in its place, and whoever has not slaughtered, let him offer a sacrifice in the name of Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

4368 - أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ جُنْدُبِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ أَضْحًى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ رَأَى غَنَمًا قَدْ ذُبِحَتْ، فَقَالَ: «مَنْ ذَبَحَ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ فَلْيَذْبَحْ شَاةً مَكَانَهَا، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ ذَبَحَ فَلْيَذْبَحْ عَلَى اسْمِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ»

Commentary

The time for offering sacrifice is prescribed. Slaughtering animals prior to that is invalid, as the times for ritual prayers are prescribed. A ritual prayer performed before its prescribed time shall have to be re-prayed. In the same manner is the time for slaughtering sacrificial animals after the Eid prayer.
