that he heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “(Moses) said, ‘Call me not to account for what I forget and be
not hard upon me for my affair (with you)’ (18.73) the first excuse of Moses was his forgetfulness.”
Narrated Al-Bara bin Azib that once he had a guest, so he told his family (on the Day of Id-ul-
Adha) that they should slaughter the animal for sacrifice before he returned from the (‘Id) prayer in
order that their guest could take his meal. So his family slaughtered (the animal ) before the prayer.
Then they mentioned that event to the Prophet who ordered Al-Bara to slaughter another sacrifice.
Al-Bara’ said to the Prophet , “I have a young milch she-goat which is better than two sheep for
slaughtering.” (The sub-narrator, Ibn ‘Aun used to say, “I don’t know whether the permission (to
slaughter a she-goat as a sacrifice) was especially given to Al-Bara’ or if it was in general for all the
Muslims.”) (See Hadith No. 99, Vol. 2.)
