It was
narrated that Abu Zaid Al-Ansari said:
“The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) passed by one of the houses of the Ansar and noticed the smell
of a cooking pot. He said: ‘Who is this who has slaughtered?’ A
man
from among us came out and said: ‘It is me, O Messenger of
Allah, I
slaughtered before the prayer so that I could feed my family
and
neighbors.’ He commanded him to repeat it. He said: ‘No, by
the One
besides Whom there is none worthy of worship, I do not have
anything
but a one-year-old sheep or a lamb.’ He (ﷺ) said:
‘Sacrifice it, but
a one-year-old sheep will not do for anyone
after you.’”
