It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Zaid Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by our houses and sensed such a smell from our pots as if meat was being roasted. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Who has slaughtered (an animal)? One of our men went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! This is a day on which ordinary food is not liked, so I slaughtered a sacrificial animal so that I may eat myself and also feed the neighbors. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sacrifice again. He said: No, by the One besides whom there is no true deity, now I have only a sheep of the Jadh'a breed or an animal less than one year old. He repeated this three times. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Alright, then slaughter this one, but after you, such an animal will not suffice for anyone.
