Volume 2, Book 15, Number 100:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah's Apostle .~ offered the prayer on the day of Nahr and then delivered the Khutba and
ordered that whoever had slaughtered his sacrifice before the prayer should repeat it, that is, should
slaughter another sacrifice. Then a person from the Ansar stood up and said, "O Allah's Apostle! be –
cause of my neighbors (he described them as being very needy or poor) I slaughtered before the
prayer. I have a young she-goat which, in my opinion, is better than two sheep." The Prophet gave
him the permission for slaughtering it as a sacrifice.
