Home Hadith Hadith 943
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No good deeds done on other days are superior to those done on these (first ten
days of Dhul Hijja)." Then some companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Not even Jihad?" He replied, "Not
even Jihad, except that of a man who does it by putting himself and his property in danger (for Allah's
sake) and does not return with any of those things."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 13, Hadith 18

The Prophet (ﷺ) delivered the Khutba on the day of Nahr (`Id-ul-Adha) and said, "The first thing we
should do on this day of ours is to pray and then return and slaughter (our sacrifices). So anyone who
does so he acted according to our Sunna; and whoever slaughtered before the prayer then it was just
meat that he offered to his family and would not be considered as a sacrifice in any way. My uncle
Abu Burda bin Niyyar got up and said, "O, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I slaughtered the sacrifice before the
prayer but I have a young she-goat which is better than an older sheep." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Slaughter
it in lieu of the first and such a goat will not be considered as a sacrifice for anybody else after you."
