He who observes prayer like our prayer and turns his face towards our Qibla (in prayer) and who offers sacrifices (of animals) as we do, he must not slaughter the (animal as a sacrifice) until he has completed the prayer. Thereupon my maternal uncle said: Messenger of Allah, I have sacrificed the animal on behalf of my son. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This is the thing in which you have made haste for your family. He said: I have a goat with me better than two goats. Thereupon he said: Sacrifice it for that is the best.  

مسلم:١٩٦١d – وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ عَنْ فِرَاسٍ عَنْ عَامِرٍ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ صَلَّى صَلاَتَنَا وَوَجَّهَ قِبْلَتَنَا وَنَسَكَ نُسُكَنَا فَلاَ يَذْبَحْ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَ فَقَالَ خَالِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ نَسَكْتُ عَنِ ابْنٍ لِي فَقَالَ ذَاكَ شَىْءٌ عَجَّلْتَهُ لأَهْلِكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ عِنْدِي شَاةً خَيْرٌ مِنْ شَاتَيْنِ قَالَ ضَحِّ بِهَا فَإِنَّهَا خَيْرُ نَسِيكَةٍ

ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ ذَبْحَ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ الْأُضْحِيَّةِ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ كَانَ ذَلِكَ عَنِ ابْنِهِ، لَا عَنْ نَفْسِهِ

"The Messenger of Allah stood up on the Day of Sacrifice and Said: 'Whoever turn toward our Qiblah and prays as we pray and offers the same sacrifice as we do, let him not offer his sacrifice until he has prayed; My maternal uncle stood up and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I hastened to slaughter my sacrifice, so that I could feed my family,. And the members of my household,; or my family and my neighbors,; The Messenger of Allah said; 'Offer another sacrifice,; He said: 'I have a suckling she-goat kid that is dearer to me than two sheep raised for meat,' He said: 'Sacrifice it, for it is the better of your two sacrifices. But no Jadh'ah will do as a sacrifice for anyone after you."' (Sahih ) (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4394)  

الكبرى للنسائي:٤٤٧٠ – أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبِي عَنْ فِرَاسٍ عَنْ عَامِرٍ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ وَأَخْبَرَنِي دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنِ عَامِرٍ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ فَذَكَرَ أَحَدُهُمَا مَا لَمْ يَذْكُرِ الْآخَرُ قَالَ

قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْأَضْحَى فَقَالَ «مَنْ وَجَّهَ قِبْلَتَنَا وَصَلَّى صَلَاتَنَا وَنَسَكَ نُسُكَنَا فَلَا يَذْبَحْ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَ» فَقَامَ خَالِي فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي عَجَّلْتُ نُسُكِي لِأُطْعِمَ أَهْلِي وَأَهْلَ دَارِي أَوْ أَهْلِي وَجِيرَانِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَعِدْ ذَبْحًا آخَرَ قَالَ فَإِنَّ عِنْدِي عَنَاقَ لَبَنٍ هِيَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ شَاتَيْ لَحْمٍ قَالَ اذْبَحْهَا فَإِنَّهَا خَيْرُ نَسِيكَتَيْكَ وَلَا تَقْضِي جَذَعَةً عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ
