و حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ صَخْرٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ عَارِمُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زِيَادٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ الْأَحْوَلُ عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ حَدَّثَنِي الْبَرَائُ بْنُ عَازِبٍ قَالَ خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي يَوْمِ نَحْرٍ فَقَالَ لَا يُضَحِّيَنَّ أَحَدٌ حَتَّی يُصَلِّيَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ عِنْدِي عَنَاقُ لَبَنٍ هِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ شَاتَيْ لَحْمٍ قَالَ فَضَحِّ بِهَا وَلَا تَجْزِي جَذَعَةٌ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَکَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 5076
Al-Bara' b. 'Azib reported: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) addressed us on the day of Nahr and said: None should sacrifice the animal unless he has completed the ('Id) prayer. A person said: I have a milch goat of less than one year, better than two fat goats. Thereupon he said: Sacrifice it, and no goat of less than a year of age will be accepted as sacrifice after you.
