Volume 2, Book 15, Number 69: Narrated 'Abdullah bin Umar:
Umar bought a silk cloak from the market, took it to
Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Take it and adorn yourself
with it during the 'Id and when the delegations visit you." Allah's Apostle
(p.b.u.h) replied, "This dress is for those who have no share (in the
Hereafter)." After a long period Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) sent to Umar a
cloak of silk brocade. Umar came to Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) with the cloak and
said, "O Allah's Apostle! You said that this dress was for those who had no
share (in the Hereafter); yet you have sent me this cloak." Allah's Apostle
said to him, "Sell it and fulfill your needs by it."
Volume 2, Book 15, Number 70:
Narrated Aisha:
Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) came to my house while two
girls were singing beside me the songs of Buath (a story about the war between
the two tribes of the Ansar, the Khazraj and the Aus, before Islam). The Prophet
(p.b.u.h) lay down and turned his face to the other side. Then Abu Bakr came and
spoke to me harshly saying, "Musical instruments of Satan near the Prophet
(p.b.u.h) ?" Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) turned his face towards him and
said, "Leave them." When Abu Bakr became inattentive, I signalled to
those girls to go out and they left. It was the day of 'Id, and the Black people
were playing with shields and spears; so either I requested the Prophet
(p.b.u.h) or he asked me whether I would like to see the display. I replied in
the affirmative. Then the Prophet (p.b.u.h) made me stand behind him and my
cheek was touching his cheek and he was saying, "Carry on! O Bani
Arfida," till I got tired. The Prophet (p.b.u.h) asked me, "Are you
satisfied (Is that sufficient for you)?" I replied in the affirmative and
he told me to leave.
Volume 2, Book 15, Number 71:
Narrated AlBara':
I heard the Prophet (p.b.u.h) delivering a Khutba
saying, "The first thing to be done on this day (first day of 'Id ul Adha)
is to pray; and after returning from the prayer we slaughter our sacrifices (in
the name of Allah) and whoever does so, he acted according to our Sunna
(traditions)."
Volume 2, Book 15, Number 72:
Narrated Aisha:
Abu Bakr came to my house while two small Ansari girls
were singing beside me the stories of the Ansar concerning the Day of Buath. And
they were not singers. Abu Bakr said protestingly, "Musical instruments of
Satan in the house of Allah's Apostle !" It happened on the 'Id day and
Allah's Apostle said, "O Abu Bakr! There is an 'Id for every nation and
this is our 'Id."
Volume 2, Book 15, Number 73:
Narrated Anas bin Malik,:
Allah's Apostle never proceeded (for the prayer) on the
Day of 'IdulFitr unless he had eaten some dates. Anas also narrated: The Prophet
used to eat odd number of dates.
Volume 2, Book 15, Number 74:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, "Whoever slaughtered (his sacrifice) before the 'Id prayer, should slaughter again." A man stood up and said, "This is the day on which one has desire for meat," and he mentioned something about his neighbors. It seemed that the Prophet I believed him. Then the same man added, "I have a young shegoat which is dearer to me than the meat of two sheep." The Prophet permitted him to slaughter it as a sacrifice. I do not know whether that permission was valid only for him or for others as well.
Volume 2, Book 15, Number 75:
Narrated AlBara' bin 'Azib:
The Prophet delivered the Khutba after offering the prayer on the Day of Nahr and said, "Whoever offers the prayer like us and slaughters like us then his Nusuk (sacrifice) will be accepted by Allah. And whoever slaughters his sacrifice before the 'Id prayer then he has not done the sacrifice." Abi Burda bin Niyar, the uncle of AlBara' said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have slaughtered my sheep before the 'Id prayer and I thought today as a day of eating and drinking (not alcoholic drinks), and I liked that my sheep should be the first to be slaughtered in my house. So slaughtered my sheep and took my food before coming for the prayer." The Prophet said, "The sheep which you have slaughtered is just mutton (not a Nusuk)." He (Abu Burda) said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have a young shegoat which is dearer to me than two sheep. Will that be sufficient as a Nusuk on my behalf? "The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "Yes, it will be sufficient for you but it will not be sufficient (as a Nusuk) for anyone else after you."
