Sahih al-Bukhari 5569 (Book 73, Hadith 25) #5344
Sacrifice and Sharing

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) advised people to not keep the meat of a sacrificed animal for more than three days, but in a time of hardship he allowed them to store it for longer.

Narrated Salama bin Al-Aqua': The Prophet said, "Whoever has slaughtered a sacrifice should not keep anything of Its meat after three days". When it was the next year the people said, "O Allah's Messenger ! Shall we do as we did last year?" He said, ' Eat of it and feed of it to others and store of it for in that year the people were having a hard time and I wanted you to help (the needy).
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ مَنْ ضَحَّى مِنْكُمْ فَلاَ يُصْبِحَنَّ بَعْدَ ثَالِثَةٍ وَفِي بَيْتِهِ مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْعَامُ الْمُقْبِلُ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَفْعَلُ كَمَا فَعَلْنَا عَامَ الْمَاضِي قَالَ ‏"‏ كُلُوا وَأَطْعِمُوا وَادَّخِرُوا فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ الْعَامَ كَانَ بِالنَّاسِ جَهْدٌ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ تُعِينُوا فِيهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us that when we sacrifice an animal, such as during Eid al-Adha, we should not keep any of its meat after three days. This is because the meat can spoil quickly and it is better to share it with others while it is still fresh. However, if there are times of hardship or difficulty then we can store some of the meat so that those who are in need can benefit from it. This hadith teaches us about the importance of sharing what we have with others and being generous even when times are tough. It also reminds us that Allah will reward us for our good deeds even if they seem small or insignificant.
