3160 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ، عَنْ نُبَيْشَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «كُنْتُ نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ لُحُومِ الْأَضَاحِيِّ، فَوْقَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ، فَكُلُوا، وَادَّخِرُوا»

Commentary
It is a common practice that the meat of sacrifice should be divided in three portions; one third is for household, one third is for relatives and one third is for poor and needy people. Some people try to divide it in three portions equally; it is not correct. Therefore, after keeping required meat for family members, the remaining should be distributed among others. In this case, the importance should be given to poor relatives and neighbors.
