It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Waqid (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade eating the meat of sacrificial animals after three days. Abdullah bin Abi Bakr said: I narrated this to Umrah bint Abdur Rahman, and she said: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Waqid (may Allah be pleased with him) has spoken the truth. I heard from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that some people from the desert came during Eid al-Adha in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), so he said: "Keep the meat for three days and give the rest for the sake of Allah after that." The people said to him: O Messenger of Allah! Before this, people used to benefit from their sacrifices, and they used to store their fat and make water skins from their hides. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "What is the matter?" They said: Now you have forbidden keeping the meat of the sacrifice for more than three days. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "I did that because some poor people from the desert had come. Now eat the meat of the sacrifice, give charity, and store it."
