Sunan Abi Dawud 2014 (Book 11, Hadith 294) #22306
Performing Religious Acts Out of Order

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) taught that no harm will come from performing a religious act out of order, as long as it is done with good intentions.

'Abd Allaah bin 'Amr bin Al 'As said "The Apostle of Allaah stopped during the Farewell Pilgrimage at Mina, as the people were to ask him(about the rites of Hajj). A man came and said Apostle of Allaah being ignorant, I shaved before sacrificing. The Apostle of Allaah replied "Sacrifice, for no harm will come". Another man came and said "Apostle of Allaah, being ignorant, I sacrificed before throwing the pebbles". He replied "Throw them for no harm will come". He (the Prophet) was not asked about anything which had been done before or after its proper time without saying "Do it, for no harm will come".
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَقَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ بِمِنًى يَسْأَلُونَهُ فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَمْ أَشْعُرْ فَحَلَقْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَذْبَحَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ اذْبَحْ وَلاَ حَرَجَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمْ أَشْعُرْ فَنَحَرْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَرْمِيَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ ارْمِ وَلاَ حَرَجَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَمَا سُئِلَ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنْ شَىْءٍ قُدِّمَ أَوْ أُخِّرَ إِلاَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ اصْنَعْ وَلاَ حَرَجَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that when we are performing religious acts, our intention should be pure and sincere. Even if we make a mistake and do something out of order, it is still accepted by God if our intention was good. This hadith also teaches us to be forgiving and understanding towards others who may not know the exact rules or regulations for certain religious acts. We should not judge them harshly but instead guide them in the right direction with patience and kindness. The Prophet's example shows us how to respond to people who make mistakes in their religious practices - with mercy and compassion rather than criticism or judgement.
