"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.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1563)

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»

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."

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."

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."

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."

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).

Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ qaid: Sacrifice it, but it will not suffice (as a sacrifice) for anyone after you.

"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.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1563)

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." (Using translation from Bukhārī 965)

"إِنَّ أوّلَ مَا نَبْدَأُ بِه في يَوْمنَا هَذَا أَنْ نُصَلِّى ثُمَّ نَرْجعَ فَنَنْحَرَ، فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلكَ فَقَدْ أصَابَ سُنَّتَنَا، وَمَنْ ذَبَحَ قَبْلَ ذَلكَ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ لَحْمٌ قَدَّمَهُ لأهْلِهِ، لَيْسَ مِن النُّسُكِ في شَىْءٍ".
