وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَهَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ جَرِيرٍ، كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، قَالَ خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي يَوْمِ النَّحْرِ بَعْدَ الصَّلاَةِ . ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِهِمْ .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1961g
This Hadith is brief, but it places the teaching in an important order. Al-Bara' b. Azib reports that Allah's Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) addressed the people on the Day of Nahr after the Eid prayer. The translation then says the rest of the Hadith is the same. So the main point is not a new wording, but the setting: the address came after prayer on the Day of Sacrifice. This keeps the reader focused on Eid al-Adha sacrifice time and the Prophet's guidance about when Qurbani should be done. The Hadith also reminds us that some reports are recorded in shorter forms because they point to a known fuller narration. We should explain only what this wording supports.
What we learn from this hadith
- The address took place on the Day of Nahr after the prayer.
- This report carries the same meaning as the connected narration.
- The timing of the sermon supports the order of prayer before sacrifice.
- The short wording should not be treated as a separate detailed event.
