Sahih Muslim 1973 (Book 35, Hadith 45) #12213
The Importance of Not Wasting Food

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of not wasting food and to share it with others.

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported Allah's Messenger having said: O people of Medina, do not eat the flesh of sacrificed animals beyond three days. Ibn al-Muthanni said: Three days. They (the Companions of the Holy Prophet) complained to the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) that they had children and servants of theirs (to feed), whereupon he said: Eat, and feed others, and store, and make it a provision of food.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي، نَضْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ لاَ تَأْكُلُوا لُحُومَ الأَضَاحِيِّ فَوْقَ ثَلاَثٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ ‏.‏ فَشَكَوْا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ لَهُمْ عِيَالاً وَحَشَمًا وَخَدَمًا فَقَالَ ‏"‏ كُلُوا وَأَطْعِمُوا وَاحْبِسُوا أَوِ ادَّخِرُوا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى شَكَّ عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى
