Sahih al-Bukhari 5347 (Book 73, Hadith 16)
will do on this day of ours is that we will offer the `Id prayer, then we will return and slaughter our
sacrifices; and whoever does so, then indeed he has followed our tradition, and whoever slaughtered
his sacrifice (before the prayer), what he offered was just meat that he presented to his family, and that
was not a sacrifice.” Abu Burda got up and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! I slaughtered the sacrifice before
the prayer and I have got a Jadha’a which is better than an old sheep.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Slaughter it
to make up for that, but it will not be sufficient for anybody else after you.”
Sahih al-Bukhari 5347 (Book 73, Hadith 16)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
