Volume 7, Book 68, Number 453:
Narrated Al-Bara:
The Prophet said (on the day of Idal-Adha), "The first thing we will do on this day of ours, is to offer the ('Id)
prayer and then return to slaughter the sacrifice. Whoever does so, he acted
according to our Sunna (tradition), and whoever slaughtered (the sacrifice)
before the prayer, what he offered was just meat he presented to his family,
and that will not be considered as Nusak (sacrifice)." (On hearing that)
Abu Burda bin Niyar got up, for he had slaughtered the sacrifice before the
prayer, and said, "I have got a six month old ram." The Prophet said,
'Slaughter it (as a sacrifice) but it will not be sufficient for any-one else
(as a sacrifice after you). Al-Bara' added: The Prophet said, "Whoever
slaughtered (the sacrifice) after the prayer, he slaughtered it at the right
time and followed the tradition of the Muslims."

some animals for sacrifice (to be slaughtered on 'Id-al-Adha). 'Uqba's share

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet said on the day of Nahr, "Whoever has slaughtered his
sacrifice before the prayer, should repeat it (slaughter another
sacrifice)." A man got up and said, "O Allah's Apostle! This is a day
on which meat is desired." He then mentioned his neighbors saying, "I
have a six month old ram which is to me better than the meat of two
sheep." The Prophet allowed him to slaughter it as a sacrifice, but I do
not know whether this permission was valid for other than that man or not. The
Prophet then went towards two rams and slaughtered them, and then the people went
towards some sheep and distributed them among themselves.

The Prophet said, "Time has come back to its original state which it

four of which are sacred, three of them are in succession, namely Dhul-Qa'da,
Dhul Hijja and Muharram, (the fourth being) Rajab Mudar which is between
Juma'da (ath-thamj and Sha'ban. The Prophet then asked, "Which month is
this?" We said, "Allah and his Apostle know better." He kept
silent so long that we thought that he would call it by a name other than its
real name. He said, "Isn't it the month of Dhul-Hijja?" We said,
"Yes." He said, "Which town is this?" We said, "Allah
and His Apostle know better." He kept silent so long that we thought that
he would call it t,y a name other than its real name.
He said, "isn't it the town (of
