Abu Burda slaughtered (the sacrifice) before the (ʿId) prayer whereupon the Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Slaughter another sacrifice instead of that." Abu Burda said, "I have nothing except a Jadha'a." (Shuʿba said: Perhaps Abu Burda also said that Jadha'a was better than an old sheep in his opinion.) The Prophet ﷺ said, "(Never mind), slaughter it to make up for the other one, but it will not be sufficient for anyone else after you."
لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَبْدِلْهَا قَالَ لَيْسَ عِنْدِي إِلاَّ جَذَعَةٌ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ هِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ مُسِنَّةٍ قَالَ اجْعَلْهَا مَكَانَهَا وَلَنْ تَجْزِيَ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ وَقَالَ حَاتِمُ بْنُ وَرْدَانَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَالَ عَنَاقٌ جَذَعَةٌ
