Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ ذَبَحَ قَبْلَ الصَّلاَةِ فَإِنَّمَا ذَبَحَ لِنَفْسِهِ، وَمَنْ ذَبَحَ بَعْدَ الصَّلاَةِ فَقَدْ تَمَّ نُسُكُهُ، وَأَصَابَ سُنَّةَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ".
Translation
Musaddad narrated to us: Ismāʿīl narrated to us, from Ayyūb, from Muḥammad, from Anas ibn Mālik (may God be pleased with him), who said: The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever slaughters before the prayer has slaughtered only for himself. Whoever slaughters after the prayer has completed his rite and followed the Sunnah of the Muslims.”
