Sahih Muslim 5069

Sahih Muslim 5069 — Book 35, Hadith 6

وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ، قَالَ ضَحَّى خَالِي أَبُو بُرْدَةَ قَبْلَ الصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ تِلْكَ شَاةُ لَحْمٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ عِنْدِي جَذَعَةً مِنَ الْمَعْزِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ ضَحِّ بِهَا وَلاَ تَصْلُحُ لِغَيْرِكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ مَنْ ضَحَّى قَبْلَ الصَّلاَةِ فَإِنَّمَا ذَبَحَ لِنَفْسِهِ وَمَنْ ذَبَحَ بَعْدَ الصَّلاَةِ فَقَدْ تَمَّ نُسُكُهُ وَأَصَابَ سُنَّةَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Rapporté par Al-Bara’ : Mon oncle maternel, Abu Burda, a sacrifié son animal avant la prière de l’Aïd. Le Messager d’Allah ﷺ lui a dit : « C’est une chèvre pour la viande, pas un sacrifice pour le jour de l’Aïd. » Il a répondu : « J’ai un agneau de six mois. » Le Prophète ﷺ a dit : « Offre-le en sacrifice, mais cela ne sera valable que pour toi. » Puis il a ajouté : « Celui qui sacrifie avant la prière ne fait cela que pour lui-même, et celui qui sacrifie après la prière a accompli le sacrifice comme le font les musulmans. »
