Home Hadith Hadith 949
I (in my boyhood) went out with the Prophet (ﷺ) on the day of `Id ul Fitr or Id-ul-Adha. The Prophet (ﷺ)
prayed and then delivered the Khutba and then went towards the women, preached and advised them
and ordered them to give alms.

The Prophet (ﷺ) went towards Al-Baqi (the graveyard at Medina) on the day of Id-ul-Adha and offered a
two-rak`at prayer (of `Id-ul-Adha) and then faced us and said, "On this day of ours, our first act of
worship is the offering of prayer and then we will return and slaughter the sacrifice, and whoever does
this concords with our Sunna; and whoever slaughtered his sacrifice before that (i.e. before the prayer)
then that was a thing which he prepared earlier for his family and it would not be considered as a
Nusuk (sacrifice.)" A man stood up and said, "O, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I slaughtered (the animal before the
prayer) but I have a young she-goat which is better than an older sheep." The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said to
him, "Slaughter it. But a similar sacrifice will not be sufficient for anybody else after you."
