"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".
I heard the Prophet ﷺ delivering a Khutba saying, "The first thing to be done on this day (first day of ʿId ul Adha) is to pray; and after returning from the prayer we slaughter our sacrifices (in the name of Allah) and whoever does so, he acted according to our Sunna (traditions)."
سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا نَبْدَأُ مِنْ يَوْمِنَا هَذَا أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ ثُمَّ نَرْجِعَ فَنَنْحَرَ فَمَنْ فَعَلَ فَقَدْ أَصَابَ سُنَّتَنَا
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
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
