حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي زَيْدٍ، - قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَقَالَ غَيْرُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ بُجْدَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي زَيْدٍ، - ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى أَبُو مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ بُجْدَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي زَيْدٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ بِدَارٍ مِنْ دُورِ الأَنْصَارِ فَوَجَدَ رِيحَ قُتَارٍ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي ذَبَحَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا فَقَالَ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ذَبَحْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ لأُطْعِمَ أَهْلِي وَجِيرَانِي ‏.‏ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُعِيدَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لاَ وَاللَّهِ الَّذِي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ مَا عِنْدِي إِلاَّ جَذَعٌ أَوْ حَمَلٌ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ اذْبَحْهَا وَلَنْ تُجْزِئَ جَذَعَةٌ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Abū Bakr ibn Abī Shaybah narrated to us: ʿAbd al-Aʿlā narrated to us, from Khālid al-Ḥadhdhāʾ, from Abū Qilābah, from Abū Zayd. Abū Bakr said: Others besides ʿAbd al-Aʿlā reported it from ʿAmr ibn Bujdān, from Abū Zayd. [Another chain:] Muḥammad ibn al-Muthannā Abū Mūsā narrated to us: ʿAbd al-Ṣamad ibn ʿAbd al-Wārith narrated to us: my father narrated to us, from Khālid al-Ḥadhdhāʾ, from Abū Qilābah, from ʿAmr ibn Bujdān, from Abū Zayd al-Anṣārī, who said: The Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a house belonging to the Anṣār and smelled roasting meat. He said: Who has slaughtered? One of our men came out to him and said: I did, Messenger of God; I slaughtered before praying so I could feed my family and neighbors. He told him to slaughter another. The man said: No, by God, besides whom there is no god, I have nothing except a yearling or a lamb from among the sheep. He said: Slaughter it, but a yearling will not suffice for anyone after you.
