" "Some Bedouins came to Al-Madinah at the time of (Eid) Al-Adha and the Messenger of Allah said: 'Eat, and store (the meat) for three days.' After that they said: 'O Messenger of Allah, the people used to benefit form their sacrifices by melting down the fat, and (also) making water skins from them.' He said: 'Why are you asking?' He said: 'Because you forbade us form keeping the meat of the sacrificial animals.' He said: 'I only forbade that because of the Bedouins who came. (Now) eat it, store it and give it in charity," (Sahih ) (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4431)   

رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «كُلُوا وَادَّخِرُوا ثَلَاثًا» فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوا يَنْتَفِعُونَ يَعْنِي مِنْ أَضَاحِيِّهِمْ يُجَمِّلُونَ مِنْهَا الْوَدَكَ وَيَتَّخِذُونَ مِنْهَا الْأَسْقِيَةَ قَالَ «وَمَا ذَاكَ؟» قَالَ الَّذِي نَهَيْتَ عَنْ إِمْسَاكِ لُحُومِ الْأَضَاحِيِّ قَالَ «إِنَّمَا نَهَيْتُ لِلدَّافَّةِ الَّتِي دَفَّتْ فَكُلُوا وَادَّخِرُوا وَتَصَدَّقُوا»  

"I came in to 'Aishah and said: 'Did the Messenger of Allah forbid (eating) the meat of sacrificial animals after three day?' She said: 'Yes Hardship had befallen the people, and the Messenger of Allah wanted the rich to feed the poor.' Then she said: 'I remember the family of Muhammad eating the trotters after fifteen days. I said: 'Why is that" She laughed and said: 'The family of Muhammad never ate their fill of bread and something to go with it, for three days in row, until he met Allah, the Mighty and Sublime,"' (Sahih ) (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4432)  

دَخَلَتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْتُ أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَنْهَى عَنْ لُحُومِ الْأَضَاحِيِّ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثٍ؟» قَالَتْ نَعَمْ أَصَابَ النَّاسَ شِدَّةٌ فَأَحَبَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُطْعِمَ الْغَنِيَّ الْفَقِيرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ يَأْكُلُونَ الْكُرَاعَ بَعْدَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ قُلْتُ مِمَّ ذَاكَ؟ فَضَحِكَتْ فَقَالَتْ مَا شَبِعَ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ مِنْ خُبْزٍ مَأْدُومٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ حَتَّى لَحِقَ بِاللهِ  

"I asked 'Aishah about the meat of the sacrificial animals and she said: 'We used to keep the trotters for the Messenger of Allah for a month, then he would eat them."" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4433)  

«كُنَّا نُخَبِّئُ الْكُرَاعَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ شَهْرًا ثُمَّ يَأْكُلُهُ»  

"The Messenger of Allah forbade keeping the meat of the sacrificial animals for more than three days, then he said: 'Eat and feed other,"' (Sahih ) (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4434)  

نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ إِمْسَاكِ الْأُضْحِيَّةِ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «كُلُوا وَأَطْعِمُوا»
