[Machine] Jabir reported that Abu Zubair did not hear the entire story. Abu Qatadah came to his family and found a chunk of meat remaining from the sacrificial animal of Eid al-Adha. He refused to eat it. Then, he went to Qatadah ibn Numan and informed him that the Prophet ﷺ performed Hajj and said, "I had instructed you not to eat from the sacrificial animals for more than three days so that you can store them, but now I allow you to eat from them as you wish." He also said, "Do not sell the meat of the sacrificial animals, but eat it, give it in charity, and enjoy its skin. And if you are given some of its meat to eat, then eat it if you wish."
