Authentic hadith of Sahih al-Bukhari Muttafaq ‘alayh (Bukhari and Muslim) Sahih al-Bukhari 985

Narrator:Jundab ibn Abdullah

حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ جُنْدَبٍ، قَالَ

صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ ثُمَّ خَطَبَ، ثُمَّ ذَبَحَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَنْ ذَبَحَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ فَلْيَذْبَحْ أُخْرَى مَكَانَهَا، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَذْبَحْ فَلْيَذْبَحْ بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ ‏"

Jundub ibn ‘Abdullāh al-Bajali (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) prayed on the Day of Nahr, then delivered a sermon, then slaughtered (an animal) and said: "Whoever slaughtered before praying should slaughter another animal instead, and whoever has not yet slaughtered should slaughter while mentioning Allah's name."

Reported by Al-Bukhari (No. 985, 5562, 7400), Muslim (No. 1960a, 1960d, 1960e) and Ahmad (No. 18045, 18049, 18058).

Explanation

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) began the Day of An-Nahr with prayer, then delivered the sermon, and then slaughtered. He used to bring and slaughter the animal in the area of Eid prayer; in order to demonstrate the rituals of Islam, as well as to teach Muslims this ritual. He taught them a condition and a ruling of slaughtering: The one who slaughtered before praying Eid prayer should slaughter another one instead, because the first one was not valid; and whoever has not yet slaughtered should do so while mentioning the name of Allah, so that slaughtering be valid and the slaughtered animal becomes permissible to eat. This Hadīth proves the validity of only this order of these rituals. This Hadīth indicates that the slaughtering time starts after the Eid prayer is concluded; neither by the time of the prayer, nor by slaughtering of the Imām, except the one who is exempted from the Eid prayer, i.e. a traveler.

Explanation in Arabic

ابتدأ النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يوم النحر بالصلاة، ثم ثنى بالخطبة، ثم ثلَّث بالذبح، وكان يخرج بأضحيته للمصلى؛ إظهارًا لشعائر الإسلام وتعميمًا للنفع وتعليمًا للأمة، وقال مبينًا لهم حكمًا وشرطًا من شروط الأضحية: من ذبح قبل أن يصلي صلاة العيد فإن ذبيحته لم تجزئ، فليذبح مكانها أخرى، ومن لم يذبح فليذبح بسم الله؛ ليكون الذبح صحيحًا والذبيحة حلالًا، مما دل على مشروعية هذا الترتيب الذي لا يجزئ غيرُه.

وهذا الحديث يدل على دخول وقت الذبح بانتهاء صلاة العيد، لا بوقت الصلاة ولا بنحر الإمام إلا من لا تجب عليه صلاة العيد كمن كان مسافرًا.

  • مشروعية الخطبة في العيدين وأنها بعد الصلاة ووجوب مراعاة الترتيب في عبادات يوم النحر.
  • يشرع في الخطبة أن تكون مناسبة للوقت والحال فيذكر في كل وقت وحال ما يناسبها.
  • مشروعية تأخير ذبح الأضحية إلى ما بعد الخطبة وجوازه قبلها بعد الصلاة.
  • وجوب ذكر اسم الله عند الذبح.

Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani — Fath al-Bari

قَوْلُهُ : ( عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ ) هُوَ اِبْنُ قَيْسٍ لَا اِبْنُ يَزِيدَ , لِأَنَّ شُعْبَةَ لَمْ يَلْحَقْ اِبْنَ يَزِيدَ , وَجُنْدُبٌ هُوَ اِبْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَجْلِيُّ. قَوْلُهُ : ( وَقَالَ مَنْ ذَبَحَ ) هُوَ مِنْ جُمْلَةِ الْخُطْبَةِ وَلَيْسَ مَعْطُوفًا عَلَى قَوْلِهِ " ثُمَّ ذَبَحَ " لِئَلَّا يَلْزَمَ تَخَلُّلُ الذَّبْحِ بَيْنَ الْخُطْبَةِ وَهَذَا الْقَوْلُ , وَلَيْسَ الْوَاقِعُ ذَلِكَ عَلَى مَا بَيَّنَهُ حَدِيثُ الْبَرَاءِ الَّذِي قَبْلَهُ وَسَيَأْتِي الْكَلَامُ عَلَيْهِمَا فِي كِتَابِ الْأَضَاحِيِّ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى.…
