English Translation

Yahya (upon him be peace) related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr that Abdullah ibn Waqid said, "The Messengerof Allah forbade eating the meat from sacrificial animals after three days." Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr said, "I mentioned that to Amra bint Abd ar-Rahman, and she affirmed that he had spoken the truth as she had heard Hadrat A'isha, the wife of the Noble Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say, 'Some people from the desert came at the time of the sacrifice in the time of the Beloved Messenger of Allah so the Beloved Messenger of Allah said, 'Store up for three days, and give what is left over as sadaqa.' " She said that afterwards some one said to the Beloved Messenger of Allah that people had been accustomed to make use of their sacrificial animals, melting the fat and curing the skins. The Beloved Messenger of Allah said, "What about that?" They said, "You have forbidden the meat of sacrificial animals after three days." The Beloved Messenger of Allah said, "I only forbade you for the sake of the people who were coming to you. Eat, give sadaqa and store up." By these people, he meant the poor people who were coming to Madina.
