Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him), the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), says: We were in Mina when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed me: "Clean and preserve this meat for us." So I complied with the order, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) continued to eat from that same meat until his return to Madinah.
