Sahih al-Bukhari 983 (Book 13, Hadith 32) #949
Sacrifice on Day of Nahr

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of following the tradition of sacrificing on the day of Nahr and that any sacrifice made before the prayer is not considered a sacrifice.

Narrated Al-Bara' bin 'Azib: On the day of Nahr Allah's Messenger ﷺ delivered the Khutba after the 'Id prayer and said, "Anyone who prayed like us and slaughtered the sacrifice like we did then he acted according to our (Nusuk) tradition of sacrificing, and whoever slaughtered the sacrifice before the prayer, then that was just mutton (ie not sacrifice)". Abu Burda bin Naiyar stood up and said, "O Allah's Messenger ﷺ! By Allah, I slaughtered my sacrifice before I offered the (Id) prayer and thought that today was the day of eating and drinking (non-alcoholic drinks) and so I made haste (in slaughtering) and ate and also fed my family and neighbors". Allah's Messenger ﷺ said, "That was just mutton (not a sacrifice)". Then Abu Burda said, "I have a young she-goat and no doubt, it is better than two sheep. Will that be sufficient as a sacrifice for me?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes. But it will not be sufficient for anyone else (as a sacrifice), after you".
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ الْمُعْتَمِرِ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، قَالَ خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ بَعْدَ الصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَنْ صَلَّى صَلاَتَنَا وَنَسَكَ نُسْكَنَا فَقَدْ أَصَابَ النُّسُكَ، وَمَنْ نَسَكَ قَبْلَ الصَّلاَةِ فَتِلْكَ شَاةُ لَحْمٍ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَامَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ بْنُ نِيَارٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ نَسَكْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَخْرُجَ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ، وَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّ الْيَوْمَ يَوْمُ أَكْلٍ وَشُرْبٍ فَتَعَجَّلْتُ وَأَكَلْتُ وَأَطْعَمْتُ أَهْلِي وَجِيرَانِي‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏"‏ تِلْكَ شَاةُ لَحْمٍ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ فَإِنَّ عِنْدِي عَنَاقَ جَذَعَةٍ، هِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ شَاتَىْ لَحْمٍ، فَهَلْ تَجْزِي عَنِّي قَالَ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ، وَلَنْ تَجْزِيَ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect traditions when performing religious acts such as sacrificing animals in order to gain rewards from God Almighty.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains how important it is to follow traditions when it comes to sacrificing animals for religious purposes. On the day of Nahr, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) delivered a Khutba after prayer and said that anyone who prayed like them and slaughtered their sacrifice like they did was acting according to their tradition. Abu Burda bin Naiyar then stood up and said he had slaughtered his sacrifice before offering his prayer, thinking it was just a day for eating and drinking non-alcoholic drinks. However, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) clarified that this was not considered a sacrifice as it did not follow their tradition. Abu Burda then asked if one young she-goat would be sufficient as a sacrifice for him, which Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) agreed to but clarified that this would not be sufficient for anyone else after him. This hadith teaches us about respecting traditions when performing religious acts such as sacrificing animals in order to gain rewards from God Almighty.
