سنن نسائی · Hadith 4409
It was narrated that Al-Bara’ bin ‘Azib said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم : stood up on the Day of Sacrifice and said: ‘Whoever turns toward our Qiblah and prays as we pray and offers the same sacrifice as we do, let him not offer his sacrifice until he has prayed.’ My maternal uncle stood up and said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, I hastened to slaughter my sacrifice, so that I could feed my family, and the members of my household,’ or ‘my family and my neighbors.’ The essenger of Allah said: ‘Offer another sacrifice.’ He said: ‘I have a suckling she-goat kid that is dearer to me than two sheep raised for meat.’ He said: ‘Sacrifice it, for it is the better of your two sacrifices. But no Jadh’ah will do as a sacrifice for anyone after you.” (Sahih)
