Sunan an-Nasai 4396 (Book 43, Hadith 36) #18929
Sacrifice and Compassion

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad granted a concession to a man who had already sacrificed his animal before the prayer, allowing him to sacrifice another animal instead.

It was narrated that Anas said: "The Messenger of Allah said on the Day of Sacrifice:' Whoever slaughtered his sacrifice before the prayer, let him repeat it'. A man stood up and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, this is a day when people want to eat meat'. He mentioned that his neighbors were poor and it was as if the Messenger of Allah believed him. He said: 'I have a Jadh'ah that is dearer to me than tow sheep for meat.; So he granted him a concession (allowing him to sacrifice it) but I do not know whether it applied to anyone else or not. Then he went toward two rams and sacrificed them". (Sahih )
أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ ‏ "‏ مَنْ كَانَ ذَبَحَ قَبْلَ الصَّلاَةِ فَلْيُعِدْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا يَوْمٌ يُشْتَهَى فِيهِ اللَّحْمُ فَذَكَرَ هَنَةً مِنْ جِيرَانِهِ كَأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَدَّقَهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ عِنْدِي جَذَعَةٌ هِيَ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ شَاتَىْ لَحْمٍ ‏.‏ فَرَخَّصَ لَهُ فَلاَ أَدْرِي أَبَلَغَتْ رُخْصَتُهُ مَنْ سِوَاهُ أَمْ لاَ ثُمَّ انْكَفَأَ إِلَى كَبْشَيْنِ فَذَبَحَهُمَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's compassion and mercy towards people. On the day of sacrifice, he allowed a man who had already sacrificed his animal before the prayer to sacrifice another one instead. This shows that even though it was important for Muslims to follow religious rituals, it was also important for them to show kindness and mercy towards others in need. The Prophet Muhammad showed this by granting this man a concession so that he could provide meat for his poor neighbors. This teaches us that we should always be kind and compassionate towards those in need, even if it means sacrificing our own needs or desires in order to do so.
