Sahih al-Bukhari 5561 (Book 73, Hadith 17) #5336
Slaughtering Sacrifices on 'Id

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) taught that it is important to wait until the 'Id prayer before slaughtering a sacrifice, but he also showed mercy and allowed a man to slaughter his Jadha'a as a sacrifice.

Narrated Anas: The Prophet said, "Whoever slaughtered the sacrifice before the 'Id prayer, should repeat it (slaughter another one)". A man said "This is the day on which meat is desired". Then he mentioned the need of his neighbors (for meat) and the Prophet seemed to accept his excuse. The man said, "I have a Jadha'a which is to me better than two sheep". The Prophet allowed him (to slaughter it as a sacrifice). But I do not know whether this permission was general for all Muslims or not. The Prophet then went towards two rams and slaughtered them, and the people went towards their sheep and slaughtered them.
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ ذَبَحَ قَبْلَ الصَّلاَةِ فَلْيُعِدْ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ هَذَا يَوْمٌ يُشْتَهَى فِيهِ اللَّحْمُ ـ وَذَكَرَ مِنْ جِيرَانِهِ فَكَأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ عَذَرَهُ ـ وَعِنْدِي جَذَعَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ شَاتَيْنِ فَرَخَّصَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ فَلاَ أَدْرِي بَلَغَتِ الرُّخْصَةُ أَمْ لاَ، ثُمَّ انْكَفَأَ إِلَى كَبْشَيْنِ ـ يَعْنِي فَذَبَحَهُمَا ـ ثُمَّ انْكَفَأَ النَّاسُ إِلَى غُنَيْمَةٍ فَذَبَحُوهَا‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about the importance of sacrificing animals on Eid al-Adha. It is narrated by Anas ibn Malik that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that whoever slaughters their sacrifice before the ‘Id prayer should repeat it. A man then mentioned his neighbors’ need for meat and asked if he could offer his Jadha’a instead of two sheep, which was accepted by the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ then went towards two rams and slaughtered them, and people followed suit with their own sacrifices. This hadith shows us how important it is to follow Islamic traditions such as offering sacrifices during Eid al-Adha, but also how merciful our beloved prophet was in allowing exceptions when needed. We can learn from this hadith that we should always strive to do what Allah has commanded us while still being kind and understanding towards others in our community who may not be able to fulfill all of these obligations due to certain circumstances or needs.
