It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade eating the meat of sacrifice for more than three days. The people came and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! We also have children and families." Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You may eat, store, and do so in a good manner."
