Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا دَاوُدُ وَابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَن دَاوُدَ الْمَعْنَى عَن عَامِرٍ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَا يَذْبَحَنَّ أَحَدٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ خَالِي وَ
قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا يَوْمٌ اللَّحْمُ فِيهِ كَثِيرٌ قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ مَكْرُوهٌ وَإِنِّي ذَبَحْتُ نُسُكِي قَبْلُ لِيَأْكُلَ أَهْلِي وَجِيرَانِي وَعِنْدِي عَنَاقُ لَبَنٍ خَيْرٌ مِنْ شَاتَيْ لَحْمٍ فَأَذْبَحُهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ وَلَا تُجْزِئُ جَذَعَةٌ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ وَهِيَ خَيْرُ نَسِيكَتَيْكَ

English Translation
Yazīd narrated to us: Dāwūd informed us. And Ibn Abī ʿAdī narrated to us from Dāwūd — the meaning is the same — from ʿĀmir, from al-Barāʾ ibn ʿĀzib, that the Prophet ﷺ — Ibn Abī ʿAdī said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed us and said: "No one should slaughter before we pray." My maternal uncle stood and said: "O Messenger of Allah, this is a day when meat is plentiful" — Ibn Abī ʿAdī said: "needed" — "and I slaughtered my sacrifice early so my family and neighbors could eat. I have a young she-goat still nursing that is better than two adult sheep for meat. Shall I slaughter it?" He said: "Yes, and a jadhaʿah will not suffice for anyone after you. It is the best of your two sacrifices."
