[Machine] We were sitting in the mosque on the day of Eid Al-Adha when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us and greeted the people. He then said, "Indeed, the first ritual of your day is this prayer." He then went forward and prayed two units of prayer, then he greeted and faced the people. He was given a bow or staff, so he leaned on it, praised and thanked Allah, commanded and prohibited the people, and said, "Whoever among you slaughtered (the animal) prematurely, let it be considered a piece of meat that he has given to his family. The sacrifice is only after the prayer." Then my uncle Abu Burdah bin Niyyar stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I rushed to slaughter my sheep so that we can have food to gather around when we return. I have a piece of meat from a goat, which is more than what I have slaughtered. Can you please exempt me from it, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Yes, and it will not be exempted for anyone after you." He then said, "O Bilal!" He said, "He walked and the Messenger of Allah followed him until he reached the women. He said, "O women, charity is better for you." He said, "I have never seen a day with more cut meat, necklaces, and earrings than that day."
