Sunan an-Nasai 4432 (Book 43, Hadith 72) #18965
Sharing Sacrificial Meat with the Poor

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) encouraged the wealthy to share their sacrificial meat with the poor, and his own family never had enough food for three days in a row.

It was narrated from 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Abis that his father said: "I came in to 'Aishah and said: 'Did the Messenger of Allah forbid (eating) the meat of sacrificial animals after three day?' She said: 'Yes Hardship had befallen the people, and the Messenger of Allah wanted the rich to feed the poor'. Then she said: 'I remember the family of Muhammad eating the trotters after fifteen days. I said: 'Why is that" She laughed and said: 'The family of Muhammad never ate their fill of bread and something to go with it, for three days in row, until he met Allah, the Mighty and Sublime,"' (Sahih )
أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَابِسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْتُ أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَنْهَى عَنْ لُحُومِ الأَضَاحِي بَعْدَ ثَلاَثٍ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ أَصَابَ النَّاسَ شِدَّةٌ فَأَحَبَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَنْ يُطْعِمَ الْغَنِيُّ الْفَقِيرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ يَأْكُلُونَ الْكُرَاعَ بَعْدَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ قُلْتُ مِمَّ ذَاكَ فَضَحِكَتْ فَقَالَتْ مَا شَبِعَ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْ خُبْزٍ مَأْدُومٍ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ حَتَّى لَحِقَ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of generosity and sharing wealth with those who are less fortunate. It was narrated by 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Abis from his father that he asked Aishah about whether or not it was permissible to eat sacrificial animals after three days, to which she replied that it was allowed due to hardship among people at that time. She then went on to explain how even Prophet Muhammad's family never ate their fill of bread and something else for three days in a row until he passed away. This hadith teaches us that we should be generous and share our wealth with those who are less fortunate than us, as this is what Prophet Muhammad did himself despite having limited resources at times. We should also strive to help others in need whenever possible, as this is an important part of being a good Muslim.
