«كنت نهيتكم عن لحوم الأضاحي فوق ثلاث ليتسع ذووالطول على من لا طول له فكلوا ما بدا لكم وأطعموا وادخروا»
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"I had forbidden you from (keeping) the meat of the sacrificial animals beyond three days, so that those with means would be generous towards those who have none. Now eat as much as you wish, feed others and store it."
