[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ he said, "Whoever wants to divide their wealth, they can do so, and whoever wants to keep it undivided, they are allowed to do so. And whoever wants to leave a will, they can do so, and whoever wants to not leave a will, they are allowed to do so. And when it comes to sheep, their sacrifice is obligatory."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ شَاءَ فَرَّعَ وَمَنْ شَاءَ لَمْ يُفَرِّعْ وَمَنْ شَاءَ عَتَرَ وَمَنْ شَاءَ لَمْ يَعْتِرْ وَفِي الْغَنَمِ أُضْحِيَّتُهَا»
O people of Medina, do not eat the flesh of sacrificed animals beyond three days. Ibn al-Muthanni said: Three days. They (the Companions of the Holy Prophet) complained to the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) that they had children and servants of theirs (to feed), whereupon he said: Eat, and feed others, and store, and make it a provision of food. (Using translation from Muslim 1973)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ لَا تَأْكُلُوا لَحْمَ الْأَضَاحِيِّ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ» فَشَكَوْا ذَلِكَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ لَهُمْ عِيَالًا وَحَشَمًا وَخَدَمًا فَقَالَ «كُلُوا وَأَطْعِمُوا وَاحْبِسُوا»
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Eat from the sacrificial animals and store some for later."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «كُلُوا الْأَضَاحِيَّ وَادَّخِرُوا»
