[Machine] We asked her, "Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbid the consumption of sacrificial meat after three days?" She said, "He only said that during a year when people were experiencing famine, he wanted the rich to give food to the poor. At that time, we used to raise our tents and eat the meat after fifteen days." I asked, "What led you to do that?" She laughed and said, "The family of Muhammad ﷺ was not satisfied with constant bread for three nights until Allah (God) replaced it."

سَأَلْنَاهَا أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى أَنْ تُؤْكَلَ لُحُومُ الْأَضَاحِيِّ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثٍ؟ فَقَالَتْ مَا قَالَهُ إِلَّا فِي عَامٍ جَاعَ النَّاسُ فِيهِ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُطْعِمَ الْغَنِيُّ الْفَقِيرَ وَقَدْ كُنَّا نَرْفَعُ الْكُرَاعَ فَنَأْكُلُهَا بَعْدَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ قُلْتُ فَمَا اضْطَرَّكُمْ إِلَى ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ فَضَحِكَتْ وَقَالَتْ مَا شَبِعَ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ مِنْ خُبْزٍ مَأْدُومٍ ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ حَتَّى لَحِقَ بِاللهِ ﷻ

bukhari:5423 – Khalāad b. Yaḥyá > Sufyān > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. ʿĀbis from his father

I asked ʿAisha "Did the Prophet ﷺ forbid eating the meat of sacrifices offered on ʿId-ul-Adha for more than three days" She said, "The Prophet ﷺ did not do this except in the year when the people were hungry, so he wanted the rich to feed the poor. But later we used to store even a trotter of a sheep to eat it fifteen days later." She was asked, "What compelled you to do so?" She smiled and said, "The family of Muhammad did not eat to their satisfaction white bread with meat soup for three successive days till he met Allah."
