Home Hadith Hadith 6431
I witnessed the Prophet (ﷺ) offering the `Id prayer (and after finishing it) he delivered a sermon and said,
"Whoever has slaughtered his sacrifice (before the prayer) should make up for it (i.e. slaughter another
animal) and whoever has not slaughtered his sacrifice yet, should slaughter it by mentioning Allah's
Name over it."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 83, Hadith 52

Narrated Al-Bara bin Azib that once he had a guest, so he told his
family (on the Day of Id-ul-Adha) that they should slaughter the
animal for sacrifice before he returned from the ('Id) prayer in order
that their guest could take his meal. So his family slaughtered (the
animal ) before the prayer. Then they mentioned that event to the
Prophet who ordered Al-Bara to slaughter another sacrifice. Al-Bara'
said to the Prophet (ﷺ) , "I have a young milch she-goat which is better
than two sheep for slaughtering." (The sub-narrator, Ibn 'Aun used to
say, "I don't know whether the permission (to slaughter a she-goat as
a sacrifice) was especially given to Al-Bara' or if it was in general
for all the Muslims.") (See Hadith No. 99, Vol. 2.)
