Hadith #307
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَن زُبَيْدٍ الْإِيَامِيِّ عَن الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا نَبْدَأُ بِهِ فِي يَوْمِنَا هَذَا نُصَلِّي ثُمَّ نَرْجِعُ فَنَنْحَرُ فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ
أَصَابَ سُنَّتَنَا وَمَنْ ذَبَحَ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ لَحْمٌ قَدَّمَهُ لِأَهْلِهِ لَيْسَ مِنْ النُّسُكِ فِي شَيْءٍ قَالَ وَكَانَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ بْنُ نِيَارٍ قَدْ ذَبَحَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ عِنْدِي جَذَعَةً خَيْرٌ مِنْ مُسِنَّةٍ فَقَالَ اذْبَحْهَا وَلَنْ تُجْزِئَ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ

Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar narrated from Shuʿbah, from Zubayd al-Iyāmī, from al-Shaʿbī, from al-Barāʾ ibn ʿĀzib, who said: 'the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed the first thing we begin with on this day of ours is that we pray, then we return and slaughter. Whoever does that has followed our sunnah. And whoever slaughtered [before the prayer], it is merely meat he has prepared for his family — it is not part of the ritual sacrifice at all." Abū Burdah ibn Niyār had already slaughtered, so he said: "I have a young she-goat (jadhaʿah) that is better than a full-grown one (musinnah)." He said: "Slaughter it, and it will never suffice for anyone after you."'
