6. Book of Sacrifices
٦۔ كِتَابُ الْأَضَاحِيِّ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited eating the meat of sacrificial animals after three days.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ لُحُومِ الْأَضَاحِيِّ أَوْ قَالَ «لَا تَأْكُلُوا لُحُومَ الْأَضَاحِيِّ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثٍ»
[Machine] From Nubayshah, from the Prophet ﷺ who said: "Indeed, we used to prohibit you from eating the meat of sacrificial animals (udhiyah) beyond three days so that it would last you. But Allah has brought abundance, so eat, save, and earn (through selling)."
عَنْ نُبَيْشَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّا كُنَّا نَهَيْنَاكُمْ عَنْ لُحُومِ الْأَضَاحِيِّ أَنْ تَأْكُلُوهَا فَوْقَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ كَيْ تَسَعَكُمْ فَقَدْ جَاءَ اللَّهُ بِالسَّعَةِ فَكُلُوا وَادَّخِرُوا وَائْتَّجِرُوا» قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد ائْتَّجِرُوا اطْلُبُوا فِيهِ الْأَجْرَ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ had prohibited consuming the meat of sacrificial animals after three days. When the following year came and people were sacrificing their animals, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, if these sacrificial animals were to be distributed among people, would they still be allowed to save some of the meat for later?" He replied, "What would prevent them from doing so on that day?" I then asked, "O Prophet of Allah, were they not prohibited in the first year from eating the meat after three days?" He said, "I had only prohibited them for the people who were present at that time from the dwellers of the outskirts, so that they could distribute the meat amongst themselves. But now, let them eat and save it."
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ نَهَى عَنْ لُحُومِ الْأَضَاحِيِّ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْعَامُ الْقَابِلُ وَضَحَّى النَّاسُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنْ كَانَتْ هَذِهِ الْأَضَاحِيُّ لَتَرْفُقُ بِالنَّاسِ كَانُوا يَدَّخِرُونَ مِنْ لُحُومِهَا وَوَدَكِهَا؟ قَالَ «فَمَا يَمْنَعُهُمْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ؟» قُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَوَ لَمْ تَنْهَهُمْ عَامَ أَوَّلَ عَنْ أَنْ يَأْكُلُوا لُحُومَهَا فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ؟ فَقَالَ «إِنَّمَا نَهَيْتُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ لِلْحَاضِرَةِ الَّتِي حَضَرَتْهُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ لِيَنُثُّوا لُحُومَهَا فِيهِمْ فَأَمَّا الْآنَ فَلْيَأْكُلُوا وَلْيَدَّخِرُوا»
[Machine] "He heard Thawban, the servant of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , saying that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him while we were in Mina, 'Fix some meat for us.' So I prepared it for him and he kept eating from it until we reached Madinah."
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ بِمِنًى «أَصْلِحْ لَنَا مِنْ هَذَا اللَّحْمِ» فَأَصْلَحْتُ لَهُ مِنْهُ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى بَلَغْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ
[Machine] I heard Jabir saying, "We used to supply ourselves from Mecca to Medina during the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ ." Abu Muhammad said, "By that he means the meat of the sacrificial animals."
سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ «إِنْ كُنَّا لَنَتَزَوَّدُ مِنْ مَكَّةَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ» قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد يَعْنِي لُحُومَ الْأَضَاحِيِّ
