Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O people of Madinah, do not eat the meat of your sacrificial animals for more than three days. The narrator states: The people complained to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that they had children and servants, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Eat it, feed others with it, and also store it.
