that he came to ‘Aisha and said to her, “O Mother of the Believers! There is a man who sends a
Hadi to Ka’ba and stays in his city and requests that his Hadi camel be garlanded while he remains in
a state of Ihram from that day till the people finish their Ihram (after completing all the ceremonies
of Hajj)” (What do you say about it?) Masruq added, I heard the clapping of her hands behind the

curtain. She said, “I used to twist the garlands for the Hadi of Allah’s Apostle and he used to send his
Hadi to Ka’ba but he never used to regard as unlawful what was lawful for men to do with their
wives till the people returned (from the Hajj).”
Volume 7, Book 68, Number 458:
Narrated Abu Bakra:
The Prophet said, “Time has come back to its original state which it had on the day Allah created
the Heavens and the Earth. The year is twelve months, four of which are sacred, three of them are in
succession, namely Dhul-Qa’da, Dhul Hijja and Muharram, (the fourth being) Rajab Mudar which is
between Juma’da (ath-thamj and Sha’ban. The Prophet then asked, “Which month is this?” We said,
“Allah and his Apostle know better.” He kept silent so long that we thought that he would call it by a
name other than its real name. He said, “Isn’t it the month of Dhul-Hijja?” We said, “Yes.” He said,
“Which town is this?” We said, “Allah and His Apostle know better.” He kept silent so long that we
thought that he would call it t,y a name other than its real name. He said, “isn’t it the town (of
Mecca)?” We replied, “Yes.” He said, “What day is today?” We replied, “Allah and His Apostle know
better.” He kept silent so long that we thought that he would call it by a name other than its real
name. He said, “Isn’t it the day of Nahr?” We replied, “Yes.” He then said, “Your blood, properties and
honor are as sacred to one another as this day of yours in this town of yours in this month of yours.
You will meet your Lord, and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Do not go astray after me
by cutting the necks of each other. It is incumbent upon those who are present to convey this mes –
sage to those who are absent, for some of those to whom it is conveyed may comprehend it better
than some of those who have heard it directly.” (Muhammad, the sub-narrator, on mentioning this
used to say: The Prophet then said, “No doubt! Haven’t I delivered (Allah’s) Message (to you)? Haven’t
I delivered Allah’s message (to you)?”

Volume 7, Book 68, Number 463:
Narrated Al-Bara’ bin ‘Azib:
An uncle of mine called Abu Burda, slaughtered his sacrifice before the ‘Id prayer. So Allah’s
Apostle said to him, “Your (slaughtered) sheep was just mutton (not a sacrifice).” Abu Burda said, “O
Allah’s Apostle! I have got a domestic kid.” The Prophet said, “Slaughter it (as a sacrifice) but it will
not be permissible for anybody other than you” The Prophet added, “Whoever slaughtered his sacri –
fice before the (‘Id) prayer, he only slaughtered for himself, and whoever slaughtered it after the
prayer, he offered his sacrifice properly and followed the tradition of the Muslims.”

Narrated Al-Bara:
The Prophet said (on the day of Idal-Adha), “The first thing we will do on this day of ours, is to of –
fer the (‘Id) prayer and then return to slaughter the sacrifice. Whoever does so, he acted according to
our Sunna (tradition), and whoever slaughtered (the sacrifice) before the prayer, what he offered
was just meat he presented to his family, and that will not be considered as Nusak (sacrifice).” (On
hearing that) Abu Burda bin Niyar got up, for he had slaughtered the sacrifice before the prayer, and
said, “I have got a six month old ram.” The Prophet said, ‘Slaughter it (as a sacrifice) but it will not be
sufficient for any-one else (as a sacrifice after you). Al-Bara’ added: The Prophet said, “Whoever
slaughtered (the sacrifice) after the prayer, he slaughtered it at the right time and followed the tradi –
tion of the Muslims.”
