It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) had forbidden us from eating the meat of sacrifice for more than three days. Then I went on a journey, and when I returned to my wife, only a few days had passed since Eid al-Adha. My wife served beetroot cooked with pieces of meat. I asked: Where did these pieces come from? She said: It is the meat from our sacrifices. I said: Did not the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) forbid us from eating it for more than three days? She said: Yes, but after that, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) granted people permission. I did not confirm my wife's statement and sent a message to my brother, Sayyiduna Qatadah bin Nu'man Badrī (may Allah be pleased with him), to ask him about this. He replied with this message: Eat your food, your wife is telling the truth, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) has granted Muslims permission regarding this matter.
