Sacrifice your qurbaani after Eid Salaah 

Narrated Al-Bara' bin 'Azib رضي الله عنه : Nabie صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ  said: "The first thing that we should do on this day of ours is to pray and then return to slaughter the sacrifice. So anyone who does so, he acted according to our Sunnah (tradition), and whoever slaughtered the sacrifice before the prayer, it was just meat which he presented to his family and would not be considered as Nusuk." A person from the Ansar named Abu Burda bin Niyyar رضي الله عنه  said, "O رسول صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ! I slaughtered the Nusuk (before the prayer) but I have a young she-goat which is better than an older sheep." Nabie صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said: "Sacrifice it in lieu of the first, but it will be not sufficient (as a sacrifice) for anybody else after you."   (Sahih Bukhari,Book #15, Hadith #82)

Virtue of Qurbani  

Sayyidatuna Aa’ishah (Radiyallahu Anha) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “There is nothing dearer to Allah Ta’ala during the days of Qurbani than sacrificing of animals. The sacrificed animal shall come on the Day of Judgment with its horns, hair, and hooves (to be weighed). The sacrifice is accepted by Allah before the blood reaches the ground. Therefore sacrifice with an open and happy heart.” (Tirmizi, Hadith #: 1493)

Umm Salama (Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anha) reported (these words) directly from Allah's Messenger (Sallal Laahu Ta'ala Alayhi Wa Sallam): If anyone has in his possession a sacrificial animal to offer as a sacrifice (on 'Id al-Adha), he should not get his hair cut and nails trimmed after he has entered the first days of Dhu'l Hijja. Sahih Muslim, Book 022, Hadith Number 4871.  

 It is strongly recommended to spend these days (especially the Day of Arafah) performing any kind of worship like fasting, reading Quran, extra salat, dhikr, or making tauba. Below are some hadith and ayats regarding the merits of these days and various ways to make use of them.

Abu Hurairah relates that the Messenger of Allah (صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ) said, "There are no days more loved to Allah for you to worship Him therein than the ten days of Dhul Hijjah. Fasting any day during it is equivalent to fasting one year and to offer salatul tahajjud (late-night prayer) during one of its nights is like performing the late night prayer on the night of power. [i.e.Lailatul Qadr]." [This is related by at-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, and al-Baihaqi]

Abu Qatadah reported that the Messenger of Allah (صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ  said, "Fasting on the day of 'Arafah is an expiation for two years, the year preceding it and the year following it. Fasting the day of 'Ashurah is an expiation for the year preceding it." [This  is related by "the group," except for al-Bukhari and at-Tirmidhi]

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) commanded us to  recite a lot of Tasbeeh (subhanallah),Tahmeed (alhamdulillah) and  Takbeer (allahuakbar) during this time.
'Abdullaah ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "There are no days  greater in the sight of Allah and in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Him than these ten days, so during this time recite a great deal of Tahleel (La ilaaha ill-Allah), Takbeer and Tahmeed." (Reported by Ahmad, 7/224; Ahmad Shaakir stated that it is saheeh).

Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) also reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "There is no deed more precious in the sight of Allah, nor greater in reward, than a good deed done during the ten days of Sacrifice." He was asked, "Not even jihaad for the sake of Allah?" He  said, "Not even jihaad for the sake of Allah, except in the case of a man who went out to fight giving himself and his wealth up for the cause, and came back with nothing." (Reported by al-Daarimi, 1/357; its isnaad is hasan as stated in al-Irwaa', 3/398).
"By the dawn; by the ten nights" (Al-Fajr 89:1-2) Concerning this Ayah, Ibn 'Abbaas, Ibn al-Zubayr, Mujaahid and others of the earlier and later generations said that this refers to the first ten days of Dhu'l-Hijjah. Ibn Katheer said: "This is the correct opinion." (Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 8/413)

Wise words by:  Shaykh Muhammad Saleem Dhorat 

If one has been favoured by Allah with wealth, then he should also perform Qurbani on behalf of Rasoolullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), his Sahabah, his Ummah, the Prophets and for his own living or deceased relatives, friends and teachers who have conveyed Deeni knowledge.
One should always remember and never overlook our beloved Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and perform Qurbani on his behalf. Aboo Talhah ( radhiyallahu anhu) has related that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) sacrificed one ram and while sacrificing the other he said, "This is on behalf of every one of my Ummah who believed in me and testified (to my prophethood)." (Tabrani)

It is a matter for deep thought and consideration that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam ) kept his Ummah in his mind while offering the sacrifice and it is deplorable for the Ummah not to remember him at the time of Qurbani.
And Allah knows best!
