عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ زِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ وَعَنِ الْأَوْعِيَةِ، وَأَنْ تُحْبَسَ لُحُومُ الْأَضَاحِي بَعْدَ ثَلَاثٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ((إِنِّي كُنْتُ نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ فَزُورُوهَا، فَإِنَّهَا تُذَكِّرُكُمُ الْآخِرَةَ، وَنَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنِ الْأَوْعِيَةِ فَاشْرَبُوا فِيهَا، وَاجْتَنِبُوا كُلَّ مَا أَسْكَرَ، وَنَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ لُحُومِ الْأَضَاحِي أَنْ تَحْبِسُوهَا بَعْدَ ثَلَاثٍ فَاحْبِسُوا مَا بَدَا لَكُمْ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had forbidden visiting graves, (certain specific) vessels, and keeping the meat of sacrificial animals beyond three days. But later, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I had forbidden you from visiting graves, now you may visit them, for they remind you of the Hereafter. I had also forbidden you from (using) certain vessels, now you may drink from them as well, but avoid every intoxicating thing. And I had forbidden you from keeping the meat of sacrificial animals beyond three days, now you may keep it for as long as you wish.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: Due to the poverty and hunger of some people, it was prohibited to store the meat of the sacrifice beyond three days. Similarly, at the time of the prohibition of wine, the use of certain vessels was forbidden: a jug made from gourd, a vessel carved from the trunk of a date-palm, a coated vessel, and an old green jug. However, after some time, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) permitted all three matters.
