Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَحْوَصِ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ جُنْدُبِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ شَهِدْتُ أَضْحَى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلاَةَ رَأَى غَنَمًا قَدْ ذُبِحَتْ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ ذَبَحَ قَبْلَ الصَّلاَةِ فَلْيَذْبَحْ شَاةً مَكَانَهَا وَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ ذَبَحَ فَلْيَذْبَحْ عَلَى اسْمِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Jundub ibn Sufyan reported: I attended the Day of Sacrifice with the Messenger of Allah. He led the people in prayer. After finishing, he saw sheep that had been slaughtered. He said: Whoever slaughtered before the prayer must slaughter a sheep in its place. Whoever has not yet slaughtered should slaughter in the name of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime.
