[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»
