Al-Bara bin Azib (RA) reported that Abu Burda slaughtered the animal as a sacrifice before the (Id) prayer. Thereupon Allahs Apostle ﷺ said: Offer a substitute for it (since it does not absolve you of the responsibility of sacrifice). Thereupon he said: Allahs Messenger. I have nothing with me but a goat of less than six months. Shubah (one of the narrators) said: I think he (al-Bara bin Azib (RA) also) said: And it is better than a goat of one year. Thereupon Allahs Messenger ﷺ said: Make it a substitute for that (and sacrifice it), but it will not suffice for anyone (as a sacrifice) after you.
