I heard ‘Ali ؓ say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade keeping the meat of sacrificial animals after three days.  

أحمد:١٢٧٦حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ مَوْلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا يَقُولُ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ تَحْبِسُوا لُحُومَ الْأَضَاحِيِّ بَعْدَ ثَلاثٍ
