Ata heard Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) say: We used not to eat the meat of our sacrificial camels beyond three days. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave us permission and said: "Eat and take provisions." So we ate and took provisions. I said to Ata: Did Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) say, "until we reached Madinah"? He said: "No." In another narration Yahya al-Qattan has "Yes" in place of the word "No."
