حديث جُنْدَبٍ، قَالَ: صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ ثُمَّ خَطَبَ ثُمَّ ذَبَحَ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ ذَبَحَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ فَلْيَذْبَحْ أُخْرَى مَكَانَهَا، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَذْبَحْ فَلْيذْبَحْ بِاسْمِ اللهِ.
On the day of Nahr the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم offered Salât (prayer) and delivered the Khutba (religious talk) and then slaughtered the sacrifice and said, "Anybody who slaughtered (his sacrifice) before he offered Salât should slaughter another animal in lieu of it, and the one who has not yet slaughtered should slaughter the sacrifice mentioning Allâh's Name on it." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 101, Vol. 2)
حديث الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، قَالَ: ضَحَّى خَالٌ لِي، يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ، قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: شَاتُكَ شَاةُ لَحْمٍ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ عِنْدِي دَاجِنًا جَذَعَةً مِنَ الْمَعَزِ قَالَ: اذْبَحْهَا، وَلَنْ تَصْلُحَ لِغَيْرِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ: ⦗٤⦘ مَنْ ذَبَحَ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّمَا يَذْبَحُ لِنَفْسِهِ، وَمَنْ ذَبَحَ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ فَقَدْ تَمَّ نُسُكُهُ وَأَصَابَ سُنَّةَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ.
An uncle of mine called Abû Burda, slaughtered his sacrifice before the ' Eid ' prayer. So Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said to him, "Your (slaughtered) sheep was just mutton (not a sacrifice)." Abû Burda said, "O Allâh's Messenger! I have got a domestic kid." The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Slaughter it (as a sacrifice) but it will not be permissible for anybody other than you."The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم added, "Whoever slaughtered his sacrifice before the (' Eid ') prayer, he only slaughtered for himself, and whoever slaughtered it after the (' Eid ') prayer, he offered his sacrifice properly and followed the Sunna (legal ways) of the Muslims." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 463, Vol. 7)
حديث أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: مَنْ ذَبَحَ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ فَلْيُعِدْ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: هذَا يَوْمٌ يُشْتَهى فِيهِ اللَّحْمُ وَذَكَرَ مِنْ جِيرَانِهِ فَكَأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَدَّقَهُ قَالَ: وَعِنْدِي جَذَعَةٌ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ شَاتَيْ لَحْمٍ، فَرَخَّصَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلَا أَدْرِي أَبَلَغَتِ الرُّخْصَةُ مَنْ سِوَاهُ، أَمْ لَا.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Whoever slaughtered (his sacrifice) before the (' Eid ') prayer, should slaughter again." A man stood up and said, "This is the day on which one has desire for meat," and he mentioned something about his neighbours. It seemed that the Prophet ﷺ believed him. Then the same man added, "I have a young she goat which is dearer to me than the meat of two sheep." The Prophet ﷺ permitted him to slaughter it as a sacrifice. I do not know whether that permission was valid only for him or for others as well. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 74, Vol. 2 )
حديث عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ رضي الله عنها، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَعْطَاهُ غَنَمًا يَقْسِمُهَا عَلَى صَحَابَتِهِ، فَبَقِيَ عَتُودٌ، فَذَكَرَهُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: ضَحِّ أَنْتَ.
The Prophet ﷺ had given him sheep to distribute among his companions and a male kid was left (after the distribution). When he informed the Prophet ﷺ of it, he said (to him), "Offer it as a sacrifice on your behalf." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 497, Vol. 3 )
35/3. Chapter:
حديث أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: ضَحَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِكَبْشَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ، ذَبَحَهُمَا بِيَدِهِ، وَسَمَّى وَكَبَّرَ، وَوَضَعَ رِجْلَهُ عَلَى صِفَاحِهِمَا.
The Prophet ﷺ offered as sacrifices, two horned rams, black and white in colour. He slaughtered them with his own hands and mentioned Allâh's Name over them and said Takbîr ( Bismillah Allâh-o-Akbar ) and put his foot on their sides. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 472, Vol. 7 )
35/4. Chapter:
حديث رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا لَاقُو الْعَدُوِّ غَدًا، وَلَيْسَتْ مَعَنَا مُدًى فَقَالَ: اعْجَلْ أَوْ أَرِنْ، مَا أَنْهَرَ الدَّمَ وَذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللهِ فَكُلْ، لَيْسَ السِّنَّ وَالظُّفُرَ، وَسَأُحَدِّثُكَ أَمَّا السِّنُّ فَعَظْمٌ، وَأَمَّا الظُّفُرُ فَمُدَى الْحَبَشَةِ وَأَصَبْنَا نَهْبَ إِبِلٍ وَغَنَمٍ، فَنَدَّ مِنْهَا بَعِيرٌ، فَرَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ بِسَهْمٍ، فَحَبَسَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّ لِهذِهِ الإِبِلِ أَوَابِدَ كَأَوَابِدِ الْوَحْشِ، فَإِذَا غَلَبَكُمْ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ فَافْعَلُوا بِهِ هكَذَا.
I said, "O Allâh's Messenger! We are going to face the enemy tomorrow, and we do not have knives." He said, “Hurry up (in slaughtering the animal). If the slaughtering tool causes blood to flow out, and if Allâh’s Name is mentioned, eat (of the slaughtered animal). But do not slaughter with a tooth or fingernails. I am telling you why: As for the tooth, it is a bone; and as for the fingernails, it is the knife of Ethiopians.”Then we got some camels and sheep as war booty, and one of those camels ran away, whereupon a man shot it with an arrow and stopped it. Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ said, “Of these camels there are some which are as wild as wild beasts, so if one of them (runs away and) makes you tired, treat it in this manner.” ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 417, Vol. 7 )
حديث رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، بِذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ، فَأَصَابَ النَّاسَ جُوعٌ، فَأَصَابُوا إِبِلًا وَغَنَمًا، قَالَ: وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ فِي أُخْرَيَاتِ الْقَوْمِ، فَعَجِلوا وَذَبَحُوا وَنَصَبُوا الْقُدُورَ فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَالْقُدُورِ فَأُكْفِئَتْ، ثُمَّ قَسَمَ، فَعَدَلَ عَشَرَةً مِنَ الْغَنَمِ بِبَعِيرٍ، فَنَدَّ مِنْهَا بَعِيرٌ، فَطَلَبُوهُ فَأَعْيَاهُمْ وَكَانَ فِي الْقَوْمِ خَيْلٌ يَسِيرَةٌ فَأَهْوَى رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ بِسَهْمٍ، فَحَبَسَهُ اللهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِنَّ لِهذِهِ الْبَهَائِمِ أَوَابِدَ كَأَوَابِدِ الْوَحْشِ، فَمَا غَلَبَكُمْ مِنْهَا فَاصْنَعُوا بِهِ هكَذَا قُلْتُ: إِنَّا نَرْجُو أَوْ نَخَافُ الْعَدُوَّ غَدًا، وَلَيْسَتْ مُدًى، أَفَنَذْبَحُ بِالْقَصَبِ قَالَ: مَا أَنْهَرَ الدَّمَ وَذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ، فَكُلُوهُ، لَيْسَ السِّنَّ وَالظُّفُرَ، وَسَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ عنْ ذلِكَ أَمَّا السِّنُّ فَعَظْمٌ، وَأَمَّا الظُّفُرُ فَمُدَى الْحَبَشَةِ.
My grandfather said, “We were in the company of the Prophet ﷺ at Dhul-Hulaifa. The people were struck with hunger and captured some camels and sheep (as booty). The Prophet ﷺ was behind the people. They hurried and slaughtered the animals and put their meat in pots and started cooking it. (When the Prophet ﷺ came) he ordered the pots to be upset [1] and then he distributed the animals (of the booty) regarding ten sheep as equal to one camel.One of the camels fled and the people ran after it till they were exhausted. At that time there were few horses. A man shot an arrow at the camel, and Allâh stopped the camel with it. The Prophet ﷺ said, “Some of these animals are like wild animals, so if you lose control over one of these animals, treat it in this way (i.e. shoot it with an arrow).”My grandfather added, “We are afraid that we may meet the enemy tomorrow and have no knives; [we asked the Prophet ﷺ: ‘Can we slaughter the animals with reeds?’]” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Use whatever causes blood to flow, and eat the animals if the Name of Allâh has been mentioned on slaughtering them. Do not slaughter with teeth or fingernails, and I will tell you why: It is because teeth are bones. (i.e. cannot cut properly) and fingernails are the tools used by the Ethiopians (whom we should not imitate for they are infidels).” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 668, Vol. 3 )
[1] The Prophet ﷺ did not agree to their slaughtering the animals of the booty before distributing them among the soldiers.
35/5. Chapter:
حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: كُلُوا مِنَ الأَضَاحِي ثَلَاثًا وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ يَأْكُلُ بِالزَّيْتِ حِينَ يَنْفِرُ مِنْ مِنًى مِنْ أَجْلِ لُحُومِ الْهَدْيِ.
‘Abdullâh bin ‘Umar رضي الله عنهما said, “Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ said, ‘Eat of the meat of sacrifices (of ‘Eid-al-Adha ) for three days.’” When ‘Abdullâh departed from Mina, he used to eat (bread with) oil, lest he should eat of the meat of Hadi (which is regarded as unlawful after the three days of the ‘Eid ). ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 480, Vol. 7 )
حديث عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: الضَّحِيَّةُ كُنَّا نُمَلِّحُ مِنْهُ، فَنَقْدَمُ بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، فَقَالَ: لَا تَأْكُلُوا إِلَاّ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَيْسَتْ بِعَزِيمَةٍ، وَلكِنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُطْعِمَ مِنْهُ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
We used to salt some of the meat of sacrifice and present it to the Prophet ﷺ at Al-Madîna. Once he said, “Do not eat (of that meat) for more than three days.” That was not a final order, but (that year) he wanted us to feed of it to others, Allâh knows better. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 477, Vol. 7 )
حديث جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: كُنَّا لَا نَأْكُلُ مِنْ لُحُومِ بُدْنِنَا فَوْقَ ثَلَاثِ مِنًى، فَرَخَّصَ لَنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: كُلُوا وَتَزَوَّدُوا فَأَكَلْنَا وَتَزَوَّدْنَا.
We never ate the meat of the Budn of Mina for more than three days. Later, the Prophet ﷺ gave us permission by saying: “Eat and take (meat) with you.” So we ate (some) and took (some) with us. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 777, Vol. 2 )
