Al-Adha Festival Sacrifice (Adaahi)
Volume 7, Book 68, Number 453:
Narrated Al-Bara:
The Prophet said (on the day of Idal-Adha), "The first thing we will
do on this day of ours, is to offer the ('Id) 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 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 said, "Whoever slaughtered (the sacrifice) after
the prayer, he slaughtered it at the right time and followed the
tradition of the Muslims."
Volume 7, Book 68, Number 454:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet said, "Whoever slaughtered the sacrifice before the
prayer, he just slaughtered it for himself, and whoever slaughtered it
after the prayer, he slaughtered it at the right time and followed the
tradition of the Muslims."
Volume 7, Book 68, Number 455:
Narrated 'Uqba bin 'Amir Al-Juhani:
that the Prophet distributed among his companions some animals for
sacrifice (to be slaughtered on 'Id-al-Adha). 'Uqba's share was a
Jadha'a (a six month old goat). 'Uqba said, "O Allah's Apostle! I get
in my share of Jadha'a (a six month old ram)." The Prophet said,
"Slaughter it as a sacrifice."
Volume 7, Book 68, Number 456:
Narrated 'Aisha:
that the Prophet entered upon her when she had her menses at Sarif
before entering Mecca, and she was weeping (because she was afraid
that she would not be able to perform the Hajj). The Prophet said,
"What is wrong with you? Have you got your period?" She said, "Yes."
He said, "This is a matter Allah has decreed for all the daughters of
Adam, so perform all the ceremonies of Hajj like the others, but do
not perform the Tawaf around the Ka'ba." 'Aisha added: When we were at
Mina, beef was brought to me and I asked, "What is this?" They (the
people) said, "Allah's Apostle has slaughtered some cows as sacrifices
on behalf of his wives."
Volume 7, Book 68, Number 457:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet said on the day of Nahr, "Whoever has slaughtered his
sacrifice before the prayer, should repeat it (slaughter another
sacrifice)." A man got up and said, "O Allah's Apostle! This is a day
on which meat is desired." He then mentioned his neighbors saying, "I
have a six month old ram which is to me better than the meat of two
sheep." The Prophet allowed him to slaughter it as a sacrifice, but I
do not know whether this permission was valid for other than that man
or not. The Prophet then went towards two rams and slaughtered them,
and then the people went towards some sheep and distributed them among
themselves.
Volume 7, Book 68, Number 458:
Narrated Abu Bakra:
The Prophet said, "Time has come back to its original state which it
had on the day Allah created the Heavens and the Earth. The year is
twelve months, four of which are sacred, three of them are in
succession, namely Dhul-Qa'da, Dhul Hijja and Muharram, (the fourth
being) Rajab Mudar which is between Juma'da (ath-thamj and Sha'ban.
The Prophet then asked, "Which month is this?" We said, "Allah and his
Apostle know better." He kept silent so long that we thought that he
would call it by a name other than its real name. He said, "Isn't it
the month of Dhul-Hijja?" We said, "Yes." He said, "Which town is
this?" We said, "Allah and His Apostle know better." He kept silent so
long that we thought that he would call it t,y a name other than its
real name. He said, "isn't it the town (of Mecca)?" We replied,
"Yes." He said, "What day is today?" We replied, "Allah and His
Apostle know better." He kept silent so long that we thought that he
would call it by a name other than its real name. He said, "Isn't it
the day of Nahr?" We replied, "Yes." He then said, "Your blood,
properties and honor are as sacred to one another as this day of yours
in this town of yours in this month of yours. You will meet your Lord,
and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Do not go astray after
me by cutting the necks of each other. It is incumbent upon those who
are present to convey this message to those who are absent, for some
of those to whom it is conveyed may comprehend it better than some of
those who have heard it directly." (Muhammad, the sub-narrator, on
mentioning this used to say: The Prophet then said, "No doubt! Haven't
I delivered (Allah's) Message (to you)? Haven't I delivered Allah's
message (to you)?"

it as a sacrifice (on your behalf)."
Volume 7, Book 68, Number 463:
Narrated Al-Bara' bin 'Azib:
An uncle of mine called Abu Burda, slaughtered his sacrifice before
the 'Id prayer. So Allah's Apostle said to him, "Your (slaughtered)
sheep was just mutton (not a sacrifice)." Abu Burda said, "O Allah's
Apostle! I have got a domestic kid." The Prophet said, "Slaughter it
(as a sacrifice) but it will not be permissible for anybody other than
you" The Prophet added, "Whoever slaughtered his sacrifice before the
('Id) prayer, he only slaughtered for himself, and whoever
slaughtered it after the prayer, he offered his sacrifice properly and
followed the tradition of the Muslims."
Volume 7, Book 68, Number 464:
Narrated Al-Bara':
Abu Burda slaughtered (the sacrifice) before the ('Id) prayer
whereupon the Prophet said to him, "Slaughter another sacrifice
instead of that." Abu Burda said, "I have nothing except a Jadha'a."
(Shu'ba said: Perhaps Abu Burda also said that Jadha'a was better than
an old sheep in his opinion.) The Prophet said, "(Never mind),
slaughter it to make up for the other one, but it will not be
sufficient for anyone else after you."

He said, "This is a matter Allah has decreed for all the daughters of
Adam, so perform the ceremonies of the Hajj as the pilgrims do, but do
not perform the Tawaf around the Ka'ba." Allah's Apostle slaughtered
some cows as sacrifices on behalf of his wives.

I heard the Prophet delivering a sermon, and he said (on the Day of
'Id-Allah. a), "The first thing we will do on this day of ours is that
we will offer the 'Id 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 Allah's
Apostle! I slaughtered the sacrifice before the prayer and I have got
a Jadha'a which is better than an old sheep." The Prophet said,
"Slaughter it to make up for that, but it will not be sufficient for
anybody else after you."

neighbors (for meat) and the Prophet seemed to accept his excuse. The
man said, "I have a Jadha'a which is to me better than two sheep." The
Prophet allowed him (to slaughter it as a sacrifice). But I do not
know whether this permission was general for all Muslims or not. The
Prophet then went towards two rams and slaughtered them, and the
people went towards their sheep and slaughtered them.

said, "That is something you have done before its due time." Abu Burda

of Ihram from that day till the people finish their Ihram (after
completing all the ceremonies of Hajj)" (What do you say about it?)
Masruq added, I heard the clapping of her hands behind the curtain.
She said, "I used to twist the garlands for the Hadi of Allah's
Apostle and he used to send his Hadi to Ka'ba but he never used to
regard as unlawful what was lawful for men to do with their wives till
the people returned (from the Hajj)."

not taste it. (In his narration) Abu Sa'id added: I got up and went to
my brother, Abu Qatada (who was his maternal brother and was one of

wanted us to feed of it to others, Allah knows better.

sermon and then delivered the sermon before the people, saying, "O
people! Allah's Apostle has forbidden you to fast (on the first day
of) each of these two 'Ida, for one of them is the Day of breaking
your fast, and the other is the one, on which you eat the meat of your
sacrifices."

together, so whoever of those who live at Al-'Awali (suburbs) would
like to wait for the Jumua prayer, he may wait, and whoever would like
to return (home) Is granted my permission to do so." Then I witnessed

sacrifices for more than three days."

the 'Id).
