English translation
4400. It was narrated that Al-Barâ' bin 'Âzib said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ addressed us on the Day of Sacrifice and said: 'Whoever prays as we pray and offers the sacrifice as we do, has done the rituals properly. Whoever offered the sacrifice before the prayer, that is just a sheep for meat.'" Abû Burdah said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, by Allâh, I offered my sacrifice before I went out to pray. I knew that this day is a day of eating and drinking, so I hastened to eat and to feed my family and my neighbors.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'That was just a sheep for meat.' He said: 'I have a Jadh'ah she-goat that is better than two sheep for meat; will it suffice for me (as a sacrifice)?" He said: "Yes, but it will never suffice for anyone after you." (Sahih)
