It was narrated to me by Ahmad ibn Sa'id ibn Sakhr al-Darimi, who said: Abu al-Nu'man, 'Arim ibn al-Fadl, narrated to us, who said: 'Abd al-Wahid — meaning ibn Ziyad — narrated to us, who said: 'Asim al-Ahwal narrated to us, from al-Sha'bi, who said: al-Bara' ibn 'Azib narrated to me, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, addressed us on the Day of Sacrifice and said: "Let no one offer a sacrifice until he has prayed." A man said: "I have a young she-goat for milk that is better than two sheep for meat." He said: "Then sacrifice it, but a one-year-old sheep will not suffice for anyone after you."
