The Prophet ﷺ delivered the Khutba after offering the prayer on the Day of Nahr and said, "Whoever offers the prayer like us and slaughters like us then his Nusuk (sacrifice) will be accepted by Allah. And whoever slaughters his sacrifice before the ʿId prayer then he has not done the sacrifice." Abi Burda bin Niyar, the uncle of Al-Bara' said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have slaughtered my sheep before the ʿId prayer and I thought today as a day of eating and drinking (not alcoholic drinks), and I liked that my sheep should be the first to be slaughtered in my house. So slaughtered my sheep and took my food before coming for the prayer." The Prophet ﷺ said, "The sheep which you have slaughtered is just mutton (not a Nusuk)." He (Abu Burda) said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have a young she-goat which is dearer to me than two sheep. Will that be sufficient as a Nusuk on my behalf? "The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes, it will be sufficient for you but it will not be sufficient (as a Nusuk) for anyone else after you."

On the day of Nahr Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered the Khutba after the ʿId 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 (i.e. not sacrifice)." Abu Burda bin Naiyar stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! By Allah, I slaughtered my sacrifice before I offered the (Id) prayer and thought that today was the day of eating and drinking (nonalcoholic drinks) and so I made haste (in slaughtering) and ate and also fed my family and neighbors." Messenger of Allah 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."

"The Messenger of Allah addressed us on the Day of Sacrifice and said: 'whoever prays as we pray nand offers the sacrtifice as we do, has done the rituals properly. Whoever offered the sacrifice before the prayer, that is just a sheep for meat." Abu Burdah said: 'O Messengers of Allah, by Allah, I offered my sacrifice before I went out to pray. I knew that this day is a day of eating and drinking, so I hastened to eat and to feed my family and my neighbors.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'The Messenger of Allah said; 'That was just a sheep for meat.' He said: 'I have a Jadh'ah she-goat that is better than two sheep for meat; will it suffice for me (as a sacrifice)?' He said: 'Yes, but it will never suff8ice for anyone after you."' (Sahih )

If anyone sacrifices before the prayer (for 'Id), that is goat meant for flesh. Abu Burdah b. Niyar stood up and said: Messenger of Allah, I swear by Allah, I sacrificed before I went for prayer.

The Prophet ﷺ delivered the Khutba after offering the prayer on the Day of Nahr and said, "Whoever offers the prayer like us and slaughters like us then his Nusuk (sacrifice) will be accepted by Allah. And whoever slaughters his sacrifice before the ʿId prayer then he has not done the sacrifice." Abi Burda bin Niyar, the uncle of Al-Bara' said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have slaughtered my sheep before the ʿId prayer and I thought today as a day of eating and drinking (not alcoholic drinks), and I liked that my sheep should be the first to be slaughtered in my house. So slaughtered my sheep and took my food before coming for the prayer." The Prophet ﷺ said, "The sheep which you have slaughtered is just mutton (not a Nusuk)." He (Abu Burda) said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have a young she-goat which is dearer to me than two sheep. Will that be sufficient as a Nusuk on my behalf? "The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes, it will be sufficient for you but it will not be sufficient (as a Nusuk) for anyone else after you." (Using translation from Bukhārī 955)

خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْأَضْحَى بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ مَنْ صَلَّى صَلَاتَنَا وَنَسَكَ نُسُكَنَا فَقَدْ أَصَابَ النُّسُكَ وَمَنْ نَسَكَ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ فَشَاتُهُ شَاةُ لَحْمٍ وَلَا نُسُكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ بْنُ نِيَارٍ خَالُ الْبَرَاءِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَإِنِّي نَسَكْتُ شَاتِي قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ وَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّ الْيَوْمَ يَوْمُ أَكْلٍ وَشُرْبٍ وَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ تَكُونَ شَاتِي أَوَّلَ شَيْءٍ يُذْبَحُ فِي بَيْتِي فَذَبَحْتُ شَاتِي وَتَغَدَّيْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ آتِيَ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ شَاتُكَ شَاةُ لَحْمٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَإِنَّ عِنْدَنَا عَنَاقًا لَنَا جَذَعَةً هِيَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ شَاتَيْنِ أَفَتَجْزِي عَنِّي؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَلَنْ تَجْزِيَ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدِكَ

bayhaqi:19112Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ > Abū al-Naḍr Muḥammad b. Muḥammad b. Yūsuf al-Faqīh > Muḥammad b. Ayyūb > Musaddad > Abū al-Aḥwaṣ > Manṣūr b. al-Muʿtamir > al-Shaʿbī > al-Barāʾ b. ʿĀzib

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon to us on the day of sacrifice after the prayer. He said: If anyone prays like our prayer, and sacrifices like our sacrifice, his sacrifice is all right. If anyone sacrifices before the prayer (for 'Id), that is goat meant for flesh. Abu Burdah b. Niyar stood up and said: Messenger of Allah, I swear by Allah, I sacrificed before I went for prayer. I thought it was the day of eating and drinking; so I made haste, and ate myself, and supplied flesh to my family and neighbors. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: That is a goat meant for eating flesh. He said: I have a kid (of less than a year) which is better than two goats meant for flesh. Will it be valid from me ? He said: Yes, but it will not be valid for anyone after you.
