Narrated Al-Bara’:
I heard the Prophet delivering a sermon, and he said (on the Day of ‘Id-Allah. a), “The first thing
we will do on this day of ours is that we will offer the ‘Id prayer, then we will return and slaughter
our sacrifices; and whoever does so, then indeed he has followed our tradition, and whoever
slaughtered his sacrifice (before the prayer), what he offered was just meat that he presented to his
family, and that was not a sacrifice.” Abu Burda got up and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I slaughtered the
sacrifice before the prayer and I have got a Jadha’a which is better than an old sheep.” The Prophet
said, “Slaughter it to make up for that, but it will not be sufficient for anybody else after you.”

Narrated Al-Bara’:
One day Allah’s Apostle offered the ‘Id prayer and said, “Whoever offers our prayer and faces our
Qibla should not slaughter the sacrifice till he finishes the ‘Id prayer.” Abu Burda bin Niyar got up
and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I have already done it. The Prophet said, “That is something you have
done before its due time.” Abu Burda said, “I have a Jadha’a which is better than two old sheep; shall I
slaughter it?” The Prophet said, “Yes, but it will not be sufficient for anyone after you.”
Volume 7, Book 68, Number 453:
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.”
