Hazrat Salamah bin Al-Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever among you has offered a sacrifice should not have any of its meat left in his house by the third morning. The following year, the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked,“O Messenger of Allah! Should we do the same this year as we did last year (i.e., not keep the meat of the sacrifice for more than three days)?”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied,“Now eat, feed others, and store it. Last year, people were in hardship, so I wanted you to help them in their difficulties.”

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (In Islam) there is no practice of Fara’ and ‘Atirah. "Fara’" was the first offspring (of a she-camel) which, in the days of ignorance, people used to slaughter for their idols, and "‘Atirah" was what they used to slaughter in the month of Rajab.
