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.
قَالَتِ الضَّحِيَّةُ كُنَّا نُمَلِّحُ مِنْهُ فَنَقْدَمُ بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ لاَ تَأْكُلُوا إِلاَّ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَيْسَتْ بِعَزِيمَةٍ وَلَكِنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُطْعِمَ مِنْهُ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ
