Hadith #39
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ مَنْ كَانَ ذَبَحَ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ فَلْيُعِدْ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا يَوْمٌ يُشْتَهَى فِيهِ اللَّحْمُ وَذَكَرَ هَنَةً مِنْ جِيرَانِهِ فَكَأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَدَّقَهُ قَالَ وَعِنْدِي جَذَعَةٌ هِيَ أَحَبُّ إ
ِلَيَّ مِنْ شَاتَيْ لَحْمٍ قَالَ فَرَخَّصَ لَهُ فَلَا أَدْرِي بَلَغَتْ رُخْصَتُهُ مَنْ سِوَاهُ أَمْ لَا قَالَ ثُمَّ انْكَفَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاة وَالسَّلَامُ إِلَى كَبْشَيْنِ فَذَبَحَهُمَا وَقَامَ النَّاسُ إِلَى غُنَيْمَةٍ فَتَوَزَّعُوهَا أَوْ قَالَ فَتَجَزَّعُوهَا هَكَذَا قَالَ أَيُّوبُ
English Translation
Isma'il informed us from Ayyub, from Muhammad, from Anas (رضي الله عنه) who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said on the Day of Sacrifice: 'Whoever slaughtered before the prayer, let him repeat it.' A man stood up and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, this is a day when meat is desired, and I have hastened for the sake of my neighbors. I have a young she-goat that is better than two full-grown sheep.' the Prophet ﷺ permitted him, and I do not know whether this permission extended to others or not. Then he turned to two rams and slaughtered them, and the people went to a flock and distributed them among themselves — or he said: distributed small sheep.
