حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، مَوْلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ تَحْبِسُوا لُحُومَ الْأَضَاحِيِّ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثٍ.
English Translation
It was narrated that Abu Ubaid, the freed slave of AbdurRahman bin ‘Awf, said: I heard Hadrat 'Ali (may Allah be well pleased with him) say: The Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) forbade keeping the meat of sacrificial animals after three days.
