Sahih al-Bukhari 5500 (Book 72, Hadith 26) #5276
Slaughtering Sacrifices with Mention of Allah's Name

SUMMARY: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) instructed those who had slaughtered their sacrifices before the prayer to slaughter another sacrifice in lieu of it, and those who had not yet slaughtered it to do so by mentioning Allah's Name.

Narrated Jundub bin Sufyan Al-Bajali: Once during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger we offered some animals as sacrifices. Some people slaughtered their sacrifices before the (Id) prayer, so when the Prophet finished his prayer, he saw that they had slaughtered their sacrifices before the prayer. He said, "Whoever has slaughtered (his sacrifice) before the prayer, should slaughter (another sacrifice) in lieu of it; and whoever has not yet slaughtered it till we have prayed; should slaughter (it) by mentioning Allah's Name".
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ جُنْدَبِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ الْبَجَلِيِّ، قَالَ ضَحَّيْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُضْحِيَّةً ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَإِذَا أُنَاسٌ قَدْ ذَبَحُوا ضَحَايَاهُمْ قَبْلَ الصَّلاَةِ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ رَآهُمُ النَّبِيُّ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ ذَبَحُوا قَبْلَ الصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ ذَبَحَ قَبْلَ الصَّلاَةِ فَلْيَذْبَحْ مَكَانَهَا أُخْرَى، وَمَنْ كَانَ لَمْ يَذْبَحْ حَتَّى صَلَّيْنَا فَلْيَذْبَحْ عَلَى اسْمِ اللَّهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of sacrificing animals as an act of worship. It was narrated by Jundub bin Sufyan Al-Bajali that during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, some people offered animals as sacrifices and some people slaughtered their sacrifices before the prayer. The Prophet ﷺ then instructed them that whoever has already slaughtered their sacrifice should slaughter another one in its place, and whoever has not yet done so should do so while mentioning Allah’s name. This teaches us that when we are performing any act of worship or obedience to God, we must remember Him and mention His name while doing it. We must also be mindful to perform our acts at the right time and place prescribed by God for maximum benefit from our deeds.
