Sahih Muslim 1971 (Book 35, Hadith 40) #12208
Preserving and Giving Away Sacrificial Meat

SUMMARY: Allah's Messenger forbade people to eat the flesh of sacrificed animals beyond three days and instructed them to give away whatever is left in charity.

Abdullah b. Waqid reported: Allah's Messenger forbade (people) to cat the flesh of sacrificed animals beyond three days. Abdullah b. Abu Bakr said, I made a mention of that to 'Amra, whereupon she said: He has told the truth, for I heard 'A'isha say: The poor among the people of the desert come (to the towns) on the occasion of Id al-Adha during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger . Upon this Allah's Messenger said: Retain with you (the flesh) sufficing for three (days), and whatever is left out of that give in charity. After this. they (the Muslims) said: Allah's Messenger, the people make waterskins with the (hides) of their sacrificed animals and they melt fat out of them. Thereupon he said. What the then? They said: You forbade (us) to eat the flesh of sacrificial animals beyond three (days), whereupon he said: I forbade you for those (poor persons) who flocked (to the towns on this occasion for getting meat) but now when (this situation has improved) you may eat, preserve and give -in charity.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of preserving sacrificial meat and giving away whatever is left in charity. It was narrated by Abdullah b. Waqid that Allah's Messenger forbade people to eat the flesh of sacrificed animals beyond three days. 'Amra confirmed this when she heard it from 'A'isha who said that during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger, poor people from desert areas would come to towns on Eid al-Adha for meat. Upon this, Allah's Messenger instructed them to keep enough for three days and give away whatever is left in charity. Later on when things improved, he allowed them to eat it as well as preserve it or give it away in charity if they wish so. This hadith teaches us about being generous with our resources and helping those who are less fortunate than us by giving out what we have extra in charity or any other form of help we can provide them with.
