The Prophet ﷺ said, "The first thing that we should do on this day of ours is to pray and then return to slaughter the sacrifice. So anyone who does so, he acted according to our Sunna (tradition), and whoever slaughtered the sacrifice before the prayer, it was just meat which he presented to his family and would not be considered as Nusuk." A person from the Ansar named Abu Burda bin Niyyar said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I slaughtered the Nusuk (before the prayer) but I have a young shegoat which is better than an older sheep." The Prophet ﷺ I said, "Sacrifice it in lieu of the first, but it will be not sufficient (as a sacrifice) for anybody else after you."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا نَبْدَأُ فِي يَوْمِنَا هَذَا أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ ثُمَّ نَرْجِعَ فَنَنْحَرَ فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ أَصَابَ سُنَّتَنَا وَمَنْ نَحَرَ قَبْلَ الصَّلاَةِ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ لَحْمٌ قَدَّمَهُ لأَهْلِهِ لَيْسَ مِنَ النُّسْكِ فِي شَىْءٍ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ بْنُ نِيَارٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ذَبَحْتُ وَعِنْدِي جَذَعَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ مُسِنَّةٍ فَقَالَ اجْعَلْهُ مَكَانَهُ وَلَنْ تُوفِيَ أَوْ تَجْزِيَ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ  

The Prophet ﷺ went towards Al-Baqi (the graveyard at Medina) on the day of Id-ul-Adha and offered a two-rakʿat prayer (of ʿId-ul-Adha) and then faced us and said, "On this day of ours, our first act of worship is the offering of prayer and then we will return and slaughter the sacrifice, and whoever does this concords with our Sunna; and whoever slaughtered his sacrifice before that (i.e. before the prayer) then that was a thing which he prepared earlier for his family and it would not be considered as a Nusuk (sacrifice.)" A man stood up and said, "O, Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I slaughtered (the animal before the prayer) but I have a young she-goat which is better than an older sheep." The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Slaughter it. But a similar sacrifice will not be sufficient for anybody else after you."  

خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَوْمَ أَضْحًى إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ وَقَالَ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ نُسُكِنَا فِي يَوْمِنَا هَذَا أَنْ نَبْدَأَ بِالصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ نَرْجِعَ فَنَنْحَرَ فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ وَافَقَ سُنَّتَنَا وَمَنْ ذَبَحَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ شَىْءٌ عَجَّلَهُ لأَهْلِهِ لَيْسَ مِنَ النُّسُكِ فِي شَىْءٍ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي ذَبَحْتُ وَعِنْدِي جَذَعَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ مُسِنَّةٍ قَالَ اذْبَحْهَا وَلاَ تَفِي عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ  

The Prophet ﷺ said (on the day of Idal-Adha), "The first thing we will do on this day of ours, is to offer the (ʿId) prayer and then return to slaughter the sacrifice. Whoever does so, he acted according to our Sunna (tradition), and whoever slaughtered (the sacrifice) before the prayer, what he offered was just meat he presented to his family, and that will not be considered as Nusak (sacrifice)." (On hearing that) Abu Burda bin Niyar got up, for he had slaughtered the sacrifice before the prayer, and said, "I have got a six month old ram." The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Slaughter it (as a sacrifice) but it will not be sufficient for any-one else (as a sacrifice after you). Al-Bara' added: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever slaughtered (the sacrifice) after the prayer, he slaughtered it at the right time and followed the tradition of the Muslims."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا نَبْدَأُ بِهِ فِي يَوْمِنَا هَذَا أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ ثُمَّ نَرْجِعَ فَنَنْحَرَ مَنْ فَعَلَهُ فَقَدْ أَصَابَ سُنَّتَنَا وَمَنْ ذَبَحَ قَبْلُ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ لَحْمٌ قَدَّمَهُ لأَهْلِهِ لَيْسَ مِنَ النُّسُكِ فِي شَىْءٍ فَقَامَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ بْنُ نِيَارٍ وَقَدْ ذَبَحَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ عِنْدِي جَذَعَةً فَقَالَ اذْبَحْهَا وَلَنْ تَجْزِيَ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ قَالَ مُطَرِّفٌ عَنْ عَامِرٍ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ ذَبَحَ بَعْدَ الصَّلاَةِ تَمَّ نُسُكُهُ وَأَصَابَ سُنَّةَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ  

I heard the Prophet ﷺ delivering a sermon, and he said (on the Day of ʿId-Allah. a), "The first thing we will do on this day of ours is that we will offer the ʿId prayer, then we will return and slaughter our sacrifices; and whoever does so, then indeed he has followed our tradition, and whoever slaughtered his sacrifice (before the prayer), what he offered was just meat that he presented to his family, and that was not a sacrifice." Abu Burda got up and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I slaughtered the sacrifice before the prayer and I have got a Jadha'a which is better than an old sheep." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Slaughter it to make up for that, but it will not be sufficient for anybody else after you."  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا نَبْدَأُ مِنْ يَوْمِنَا هَذَا أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ ثُمَّ نَرْجِعَ فَنَنْحَرَ فَمَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا فَقَدْ أَصَابَ سُنَّتَنَا وَمَنْ نَحَرَ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ لَحْمٌ يُقَدِّمُهُ لأَهْلِهِ لَيْسَ مِنَ النُّسُكِ فِي شَىْءٍ فَقَالَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ذَبَحْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ وَعِنْدِي جَذَعَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ مُسِنَّةٍ فَقَالَ اجْعَلْهَا مَكَانَهَا وَلَنْ تَجْزِيَ أَوْ تُوفِيَ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ  

The first (act) with which we started our day (the day of 'Id-ul Adha) was that we offered prayer. We then returned and sacrificed the animals and he who did that in fact adhered to our Sunnah (practice). And he who slaughtered the (animal on that day before the 'Id prayer), for him (the slaughtering of animal was directed to the acquiring of) meat for his family, and there is nothing of the sort of sacrifice in it. It was Abu Burda b. Niyar who had slaughtered (the animal before the 'Id prayer). He said: I have a small lamb, of less than one year, but better than that of more than a year. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ qaid: Sacrifice it, but it will not suffice (as a sacrifice) for anyone after you.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا نَبْدَأُ بِهِ فِي يَوْمِنَا هَذَا نُصَلِّي ثُمَّ نَرْجِعُ فَنَنْحَرُ فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ أَصَابَ سُنَّتَنَا وَمَنْ ذَبَحَ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ لَحْمٌ قَدَّمَهُ لأَهْلِهِ لَيْسَ مِنَ النُّسُكِ فِي شَىْءٍ وَكَانَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ بْنُ نِيَارٍ قَدْ ذَبَحَ فَقَالَ عِنْدِي جَذَعَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ مُسِنَّةٍ فَقَالَ اذْبَحْهَا وَلَنْ تَجْزِيَ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ  

"The Prophet ﷺ delivered a Khutbah on the day of An-Nahr and said: 'The first thing we start with on this day of ours is the prayer, then we offer sacrifice. Whoever does that, he has followed our sunnah, but whoever slaughtered (his sacrifice) before the (prayer), that is just meat that he gave to his family. Abu Burdah bin Niyar had slaughtered his sacrifice and he said: 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I have a Jadha'ah that is better than a Musinnah.' He said: 'Slaughter it (as a sacrifice), but that will not be sufficient for anyone else (as a sacrifice) after you.'"

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي يَوْمِ عِيدٍ «أَوَّلُ مَا نَبْدَأُ يَوْمَنَا هَذَا أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ ثُمَّ نَنْحَرَ فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ أَصَابَ سُنَّتَنَا وَمَنْ تَعَجَّلَ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ لَحْمٌ قَدَّمَهُ لِأَهْلِهِ» قَالَ وَكَانَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ بْنُ نِيَارٍ ذَبَحَ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ عِنْدِيَ جَذَعَةً خَيْرٌ مِنْ مُسِنَّةٍ قَالَ «اجْعَلْهَا مَكَانَهَا وَلَنْ تُجْزِئَ أَوْ تُوُفِّيَ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ»  

[Machine] Narrated to us Mansour, Zubaid, Dawood, Ibn Awun, and Mujalid from Al-Sha'bi. And this is the narration of Zubaid who said, I heard Al-Sha'bi narrating from Al-Bara' who said, "We were with Sariyah near the mosque. If I had known, I would have informed you of its location." He said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave a sermon, saying, 'Indeed, the first thing we will start with today is to offer the prayer, then we will return and sacrifice. Whoever does so has followed our Sunnah, and whoever sacrifices before that, his offering is just meat that he has given to his family, it is not considered a part of the rituals.'" He said, "My uncle Abu Burdah Ibn Niyyar slaughtered and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have slaughtered and have a thigh better than a mature sheep.' He said, 'Place it back in its place and it will not count as an offering for anyone after you.'"

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed us on the Day of Sacrifice saying, "Indeed, the first thing we will start with on this day is to pray, then we will return and sacrifice. Whoever does that has followed our tradition. And whoever slaughters before praying, then it is only meat that he has hurried for his family, it is not part of the rituals." Then my maternal uncle, Abu Burdah bin Niyyar, stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I slaughtered before praying and I have a better part than a mature sheep." He said, "Place it in its place, or he said, slaughter it and it will not suffice or replace anyone after you." And Ali narrated to us that Ahmad informed them, Abu Muslim narrated to us, Hajjaj bin Minhal narrated to us, Shu'bah mentioned it in his chain of narration as well and he said, "Place it in its place and it will not suffice or replace anyone after you."
