1508. Al-Barā' bin 'Āzib narrate: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ delivered a sermon to us on the Day of Nahr and he said: 'None of you should slaughter until he performs the Ṣalāt.'" He said: "So my maternal uncle stood and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, this is the day in which meat is disliked, and I hastened my sacrifice to feed my family and the people of my dwellings' - or - 'my neighbours.' He said: 'Repeat your slaughter with another.' He said: 'O Messenger of Allāh ﷺ I have a she-kid that has better meat than
my sheep, should I slaughter it?' He said: 'Yes, and it is better and it will suffice for you, but a Jadha' will not be accepted after you.'" (Sahih)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Jābir, Jundab, Anas, 'Uwaimir bin Ashqar, Ibn 'Umar, and Abū Zaid Al-Anṣārī.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih. This is acted upon according to [most of] the people of knowledge, in that there is to be no sacrifices in the city until the Imām has performed the Ṣalāt.
There are those among the people of knowledge who made an exception of allowance for the inhabitants of a town, that they could slaughter when Fajr began. This is the view of Ibn Al-Mubārak.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] The people of knowledge have agreed that the Jadha' among goats would not be acceptable, and they said that only the Jadha' among sheep would be acceptable.

Commentary
Since Abū Burdah bin Niyār had already slaughtered his animal of sacrifice, he was allowed to sacrifice a well nourished suckling kid lamb instead. Similarly 'Uqbah bin 'Amir was also allowed, but this permission was not for all times and for all people. Regarding the time of sacrifice; there is no difference between the people living in towns and cities and the people living in rural areas.
