ahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Bushayr ibn Yasar that Abu Burda ibn Niyar sacrificed an animal before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sacrificed on the Day of Sacrifice. He asserted that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered him to sacrifice another animal, and he, Abu Burda, said, "What if I can only find an animal less than one year old, Messenger of Allah?" He had said, "If you can only find a young animal, then sacrifice it."
أَنْ يَذْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الأَضْحَى فَزَعَمَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَعُودَ بِضَحِيَّةٍ أُخْرَى قَالَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ لاَ أَجِدُ إِلاَّ جَذَعًا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدْ إِلاَّ جَذَعًا فَاذْبَحْ
