Hazrat Salamah bin Al-Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever among you has offered a sacrifice should not have any of its meat left in his house by the third morning. The following year, the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked, “O Messenger of Allah! Should we do the same this year as we did last year (i.e., not keep the meat of the sacrifice for more than three days)?” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, “Now eat, feed others, and store it. Last year, people were in hardship, so I wanted you to help them in their difficulties.”
