Home Hadith Hadith 5336
The Prophet (ﷺ) 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 Messenger (ﷺ)! 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 (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) then went
towards two rams and slaughtered them, and then the people went towards some sheep and distributed
them among themselves.

that the Prophet (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ)
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 Messenger (ﷺ) has
slaughtered some cows as sacrifices on behalf of his wives."

The Prophet (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) 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)?"
