It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin al-As that the Messenger of Allah said to a man: "I have been instructed to take the Day of Sacrifice as an 'Id which Allah, the Might and Sublime, has ordained for this Ummah." The man said: "What do you think if I cannot find anything but a female sheep that has been loaned to me so that I may benefit from its milk - should I sacrifice it?" He said: "No. Rather cut something from your hair and your nails, trim your mustache and shave your pubic hairs, and you will have a complete reward with Allah, the Might and Sublime, as if you had offered the sacrifice."
Sunan Nisai, The Book of ad-Dahaya (Sacrifices), hadith 4370. Classed as Sahih by Shaykh Zubair Ali Zai.
This means, those who want to acquire the reward of sacrifice, but they don't have the capacity of offering sacrifice, they too can get the reward of sacrifice. For this, they have to abstain from cutting their hair and nail as soon as the moon of the month of Zul Hijja' appears untill they offer the Eid prayer.
