Sahih Muslim, 5073

Rapporté par Al-Bara’ ibn Azib : Le Messager d’Allah ﷺ a dit : « La première chose que nous faisons le jour de l’Aïd al-Adha est de prier, puis nous rentrons chez nous pour sacrifier nos animaux. Celui qui fait cela suit notre tradition. Mais celui qui sacrifie avant la prière, c’est juste pour la viande de sa famille, il n’y a rien d’un sacrifice religieux là-dedans. » C’est Abu Burda ibn Niyar qui avait sacrifié avant la prière. Il a dit : « J’ai un petit agneau de moins d’un an, mais il est meilleur que celui d’un an. » Le Messager d’Allah ﷺ a dit : « Sacrifie-le, mais cela ne suffira pour personne après toi. »

Al-Bara' b. 'Azib reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said:The first (act) with which we started our day (the day of 'Id-ul Adha) was that we offered prayer. We then returned and sacrificed the animals and he who did that in fact adhered to our Sunnah (practice). And he who slaughtered the (animal on that day before the 'Id prayer), for him (the slaughtering of animal was directed to the acquiring of) meat for his family, and there is nothing of the sort of sacrifice in it. It was Abu Burda b. Niyar who had slaughtered (the animal before the 'Id prayer). He said: I have a small lamb, of less than one year, but better than that of more than a year. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) qaid: Sacrifice it, but it will not suffice (as a sacrifice) for anyone after you
