[5103] 28 - (1971) It was narrated from 'Abdullāh bin Abī Bakr that 'Abdullāh bin Wāqid said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ forbade eating the sacrificial meat after three days." 'Abdullāh bin Abī Bakr said: "I mentioned that to 'Amrah and she said: 'He spoke the truth. I heard 'Aīshah say: "The poor among the people of the desert came to the towns during 'Eīd Al-Adhā (seeking help) during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Keep enough for three days, then give what is left in charity.' After that they said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, the people are making skins with (the hides of) their sacrifices, and they are putting the fat into them.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Why is that?' They said: 'You forbade eating the meat of the sacrificial animals after three days.' He said: 'I only forbade you because of the poor people who came (seeking help). (Now) eat and store and give in charity.'"

28 - (1971) حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ، قَالَ: «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أَكْلِ لُحُومِ الضَّحَايَا بَعْدَ ثَلَاثٍ»، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ: فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعَمْرَةَ، فَقَالَتْ: صَدَقَ، سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ، تَقُولُ: دَفَّ أَهْلُ أَبْيَاتٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ حَضْرَةَ الْأَضْحَى زَمَنَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «ادَّخِرُوا ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ تَصَدَّقُوا بِمَا بَقِيَ»، فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَتَّخِذُونَ الْأَسْقِيَةَ مِنْ ضَحَايَاهُمْ، وَيَجْمُلُونَ مِنْهَا الْوَدَكَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «وَمَا ذَاكَ؟» قَالُوا: نَهَيْتَ أَنْ تُؤْكَلَ لُحُومُ الضَّحَايَا بَعْدَ ثَلَاثٍ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّمَا نَهَيْتُكُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ الدَّافَّةِ الَّتِي دَفَّتْ، فَكُلُوا وَادَّخِرُوا وَتَصَدَّقُوا»
