حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَنَابٍ الْكَلْبِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي يَزيدُ بْنُ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ كُنَّا جُلُوسًا فِي الْمُصَلَّى يَوْمَ أَضْحَى فَأَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى النَّاسِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ نُسُكِ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا الصَّلَاةُ قَالَ فَتَقَدَّمَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ اسْتَقْبَلَ النَّاسَ بِوَجْهِهِ وَأُعْطِيَ قَوْسًا أَوْ عَصًا فَاتَّكَأَ عَلَيْهِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَأَمَرَهُمْ وَنَهَاهُمْ وَقَالَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ عَجَّلَ ذَبْحًا فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ جَزْرَةٌ أَطْعَمَهُ أَهْلَهُ إِنَّمَا الذَّبْحُ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ خَالِي أَ
بُو بُرْدَةَ بْنُ نِيَارٍ فَقَالَ أَنَا عَجَّلْتُ ذَبْحَ شَاتِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لِيُصْنَعَ لَنَا طَعَامٌ نَجْتَمِعُ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا رَجَعْنَا وَعِنْدِي جَذَعَةٌ مِنْ مَعْزٍ هِيَ أَوْفَى مِنْ الَّذِي ذَبَحْتُ أَفَتُغْنِي عَنِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَلَنْ تُغْنِيَ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا بِلَالُ قَالَ فَمَشَى وَاتَّبَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى أَتَى النِّسَاءَ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسْوَانِ تَصَدَّقْنَ الصَّدَقَةُ خَيْرٌ لَكُنَّ قَالَ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ يَوْمًا قَطُّ أَكْثَرَ خَدَمَةً مَقْطُوعَةً وَقِلَادَةً وَقُرْطًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ

English Translation
Muʿāwiyah ibn ʿAmr narrated to us: Zāʾidah narrated to us: Abū Janāb al-Kalbī narrated to us: Yazīd ibn al-Barāʾ ibn ʿĀzib narrated to me, from al-Barāʾ ibn ʿĀzib رضي الله عنه who said: We were sitting in the prayer ground on the day of sacrifice. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and greeted the people, then said: 'The first of your rituals today is the prayer.' He stepped forward and prayed two rakʿahs, then gave the salām. He turned to face the people, was given a bow — or a staff — and leaned on it. He praised Allah and extolled Him, commanded and forbade them, and said: 'Whoever among you hastened his slaughter, it is merely a portion of meat he fed his family. The slaughter is only after the prayer.' My uncle Abū Burdah ibn Niyār stood up and said: 'I hastened the slaughter of my sheep, O Messenger of Allah, so food could be prepared for us to gather over when we return. I have a young she-goat of goat that is better than the one I slaughtered. Will it suffice for me, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Yes, but it will not suffice for anyone after you.' Then he said: 'O Bilāl!' He walked, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ followed him until he reached the women and said: 'O community of women, give charity! Charity is better for you.' I never saw a day with more bracelets removed, necklaces, and earrings than that day.
