حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ عَنْ الْبَرَائِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ ذَبَحَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبْدِلْهَا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَيْسَ عِنْدِي إِلَّا جَذَعَةٌ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَأَظُنُّهُ قَالَ وَهِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ مُسِنَّةٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اجْعَلْهَا مَکَانَهَا وَلَنْ تَجْزِيَ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَکَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 5077
Al-Bara' b. 'Azib reported that Abu Burda slaughtered the animal as a sacrifice before the ('Id) prayer. Thereupon Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Offer a substitute for it (since it does not absolve you of the responsibility of sacrifice). Thereupon he said: Allah's Messenger. I have nothing with me but a goat of less than six months. Shu'ba (one of the narrators) said: I think he (al-Bara' b. 'Azib also) said: And it is better than a goat of one year. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Make it a substitute for that (and sacrifice it), but it will not suffice for anyone (as a sacrifice) after you
