Hadiths on `Eid Al-Adha from Sahih Al-Bukhari


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."


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Volume 7, Book 68, Number 454:

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

The Prophet said, "Whoever slaughtered the sacrifice before the
prayer, he just slaughtered it for himself, and whoever slaughtered
it after the prayer, he slaughtered it at the right time and followed
the tradition of the Muslims."

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Volume 7, Book 68, Number 455:

Narrated 'Uqba bin 'Amir Al-Juhani:

that the Prophet distributed among his companions some animals for
sacrifice (to be slaughtered on 'Id-al-Adha). 'Uqba's share was a
Jadha'a (a six month old goat). 'Uqba said, "O Allah's Apostle! I get
in my share of Jadha'a (a six month old ram)." The Prophet
said, "Slaughter it as a sacrifice."

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Volume 7, Book 68, Number 456:

Narrated 'Aisha:

that the Prophet entered upon her when she had her menses at Sarif
before entering Mecca, and she was weeping (because she was afraid
that she would not be able to perform the Hajj). The Prophet
said, "What is wrong with you? Have you got your period?" She
said, "Yes." He said, "This is a matter Allah has decreed for all the
daughters of Adam, so perform all the ceremonies of Hajj like the
others, but do not perform the Tawaf around the Ka'ba." 'Aisha added:
When we were at Mina, beef was brought to me and I asked, "What is
this?" They (the people) said, "Allah's Apostle has slaughtered some
cows as sacrifices on behalf of his wives."

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Volume 7, Book 68, Number 457:

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.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Volume 7, Book 68, Number 458:

Narrated Abu Bakra:

The Prophet said, "Time has come back to its original state which it
had on the day Allah created the Heavens and the Earth. The year is
twelve months, 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 Mecca)?" We
replied, "Yes." He said, "What day is today?" We replied, "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 day of Nahr?" We replied, "Yes." He then said, "Your blood,
properties and honor are as sacred to one another as this day of
yours in this town of yours in this month of yours. You will meet
your Lord, and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Do not go
astray after me by cutting the necks of each other. It is incumbent
upon those who are present to convey this message to those who are
absent, for some of those to whom it is conveyed may comprehend it
better than some of those who have heard it directly." (Muhammad, the
sub-narrator, on mentioning this used to say: The Prophet then
said, "No doubt! Haven't I delivered (Allah's) Message (to you)?
Haven't I delivered Allah's message (to you)?"

Volume 7, Book 68, Number 463:

Narrated Al-Bara' bin 'Azib:

An uncle of mine called Abu Burda, slaughtered his sacrifice before
the 'Id prayer. So Allah's Apostle said to him, "Your (slaughtered)
sheep was just mutton (not a sacrifice)." Abu Burda said, "O Allah's
Apostle! I have got a domestic kid." The Prophet said, "Slaughter it
(as a sacrifice) but it will not be permissible for anybody other
than you" The Prophet added, "Whoever slaughtered his sacrifice
before the ('Id) prayer, he only slaughtered for himself, and whoever
slaughtered it after the prayer, he offered his sacrifice properly
and followed the tradition of the Muslims."

than an old sheep in his opinion.) The Prophet said, "(Never mind),
slaughter it to make up for the other one, but it will not be
sufficient for anyone else after you."

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
Apostle! I slaughtered the sacrifice before the prayer and I have got

his neighbors (for meat) and the Prophet seemed to accept his excuse.
The man said, "I have a Jadha'a which is to me better than two
sheep." The Prophet allowed him (to slaughter it as a sacrifice). But
I do not know whether this permission was general for all Muslims or
not. The Prophet then went towards two rams and slaughtered them, and
the people went towards their sheep and slaughtered them.

of Ihram from that day till the people finish their Ihram (after
completing all the ceremonies of Hajj)" (What do you say about it?)
Masruq added, I heard the clapping of her hands behind the curtain.
She said, "I used to twist the garlands for the Hadi of Allah's
Apostle and he used to send his Hadi to Ka'ba but he never used to
