The mother of Abdullah bin Ata and his grandmother Umm Ata (may Allah have mercy on them both) both relate: By Allah! It is as if we are still looking at Sayyiduna al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) when he came to us riding a white mule of his and said: "O Umm Ata! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has forbidden the Muslims to eat the meat of their sacrifices beyond three days, so do not eat it." Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) relates: I said (to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)): "O Prophet of Allah! May my father and mother be ransomed for you, what should we do with the meat that is given to us as a gift?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whatever is given to you as a gift, use it as you see fit."
