Anas (b. Malik) reported Allahs Messenger ﷺ having said on the day of Nahr (Sacrifice): He who slaughtered (the animal as a sacrifice) before the (Id) prayer. should repeat it (i. e. offer another animal). Thereupon a person stood up and said: Messenger of Allah, that is the day when meat is much desired, and he also made a mention of the need of his neighbour, and perhaps Allahs Messenger ﷺ attested it. He (the person who had sacrificed the animal before the Id prayer) said: I have a goat of less than one year of age with me and I like it more than two fleshy goats; should I offer it as a sacrifice? He permitted him to do so. He (the narrator) said: I do not know whether this permission was granted to anyone else besides him or not. Allahs Messenger ﷺ then turned towards two rams. and he slaughtered them, and the people came to the goats and got them distributed amongst themselves (for offering them as sacrifice).
