Musnad Ahmad 806 (Book 5, Hadith 236) #34462
The Time Limit of Sacrificial Meat

SUMMARY: It is not permissible for any Muslim man to keep the meat of his sacrifice after three days.

Abu 'Ubaid, the freed slave of 'Abdur-Rahman bin Azhar, narrated that He heard 'Ali bin Abi Talib (رضي الله عنه) say: The Messenger of Allah said: "It is not permissible for any Muslim man to have any meat left from his sacrifice after three days'.
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَخِي ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ، مَوْلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَزْهَرَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يُصْبِحَ فِي بَيْتِهِ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثٍ مِنْ لَحْمِ نُسُكِهِ شَيْءٌ‏.‏

This hadith explains that it is not permissible for any Muslim man to keep the meat from his sacrifice after three days. This means that if a person has sacrificed an animal, they must consume or distribute the meat within three days and cannot keep it beyond this time limit. This teaches us about being mindful of our resources and not wasting them unnecessarily. We should also be generous with what we have and share our blessings with others who may need them more than us. Furthermore, this hadith also encourages us to be mindful of our health by consuming fresh food instead of keeping it for too long which can lead to spoilage and health issues.
