It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Burdah bin Niyar (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I went to perform the Eid prayer with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When I left for the prayer, after me, my wife slaughtered my sacrificial animal and prepared food. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led the prayer and I finished and reached home, my wife brought the food. I said: What is this? She said: It is your sacrifice, we slaughtered it and prepared food for you so that when you come home, you may eat. I said: By Allah! I fear that this act may not be permissible. Anyway, I went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him the whole matter. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is nothing; whoever slaughtered the sacrifice before we finished this prayer, it will have no validity, you must sacrifice again. So I searched for a two-toothed animal, but I could not find it. I then went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: By Allah! O Messenger of Allah! I have searched for a two-toothed animal, but I have not found it, what should I do now? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Find a jadha’ (one-year-old) sheep of the sheep breed and sacrifice it. The narrator says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave this Companion permission to sacrifice a jadha’ sheep of the sheep breed at that time when he could not find a two-toothed animal.
