4397 - ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Saʿīd informed us, saying: Yaḥyā narrated to us, from Yaḥyā. Another chain: ʿAmr ibn ʿAlī informed us, saying: Yaḥyā narrated to us, from Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd, from Bushayr ibn Yasār, from Abū Burda ibn Niyār, that he slaughtered [his sacrificial animal] before the Prophet ﷺ [on the Day of Sacrifice], and the Prophet ﷺ ordered him to repeat it. He said: "I have a young she-goat (ʿanāq) that is a year old (jadhaʿa), and it is dearer to me than two mature sheep." He said: "Slaughter it." In the ḥadīth of ʿUbayd Allāh: He said: "I do not find anything except a year-old (jadhaʿa)," so he ordered him to slaughter it.

Al-Sindī said: His statement "let him repeat it" — its apparent meaning is the obligation of the sacrificial animal (uḍḥiyya), and whoever holds this view interprets it as meaning that the Sunnah is not fulfilled by the first [slaughter], but rather a second is needed, so the meaning of "let him repeat it" is to attain the Sunnah of the sacrifice if he desires it. "Then he mentioned a haja (هَنَة)" — the feminine of "han," used as a euphemism for any noun of a category, and this is the meaning of those who say it is used to refer to anything. What is meant here is need; i.e., he mentioned that they were poor and in need of meat.
