We used to salt some of the meat of sacrifice and present it to the Prophet ﷺ at Medina. Once he said, "Do not eat (of that meat) for more than three days." That was not a final order, but (that year) he wanted us to feed of it to others, Allah knows better. (Using translation from Bukhārī 5570)
الضَّحِيَّةُ كُنَّا نُمَلِّحُ مِنْهُ وَنَقْدَمُ بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ لَا تَأْكُلُوا مِنْهُ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَيْسَتْ بِعَزِيمَةٍ وَلَكِنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ تَطْعَمُوا مِنْهُ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
