English

[5073] 7 – (…) It was narrated that A1-Barâ' bin 'Azib said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'The first thing with which we begin on this day (the day of 'EId) of ours is the prayer; we pray, then we go back and offer the sacrifice. Whoever does that has attained our Sunnah, and whoever has already slaughtered (the sacrificial animal), that is just meat that he has given to his family, and there is nothing of the sacrifice in it.' Abü Burdah bin Niyâr had already slaughtered (his sacrificial animal) and he said: 'I have a Jadh'ah that is better than a Musinnah.'111 He (ç) said: 'Slaughter it, but it will not will not suffice for anyone else after you."
