Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَابِسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْهَى عَنْ لُحُومِ الْأَضَاحِيِّ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثٍ فَقَالَتْ نَعَمْ أَصَابَ النَّاسَ شِدَّةٌ فَأَحَبَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُطْعِمَ الْغَنِيُّ الْفَقِيرَ ثُمَّ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْكُلُونَ الْكُرَاعَ بَعْدَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا مِمَّ ذَاكَ قَالَ فَضَحِكَتْ وَقَالَتْ مَا شَبِعَ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْ خُبْزٍ مَأْدُومٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ حَتَّى لَحِقَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.
English Translation
Abd al-Rahman narrated from Sufyan from Abd al-Rahman ibn Abis from his father, who said: I entered upon Aisha and said to her, 'Did the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbid eating the meat of sacrificial animals after three days?' She said: 'Yes. The people were struck by hardship, so the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, wished that the rich would feed the poor. Then I saw the family of Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, eating the trotters after fifteen days.' I said to her, 'Why was that?' She laughed and said: 'The family of Muhammad never had their fill of seasoned bread for three days until he met Allah, Mighty and Sublime.'
