Abbas bin Rabee’ah says: I asked Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ever make the meat of sacrifice forbidden for more than three days? She said: No, in fact, the matter was that few people used to offer sacrifice, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave this command so that those who sacrificed would feed meat to those who did not. We saw ourselves that we used to preserve the thin shank portion of our sacrifices and then eat it even after ten days.
