Nubaisha reported God’s messenger as saying, “I forbade you to eat their meat for more than three days in order that you might have abundance ; but God has produced abundance, so you may eat, store up and seek reward. These days are days of eating, drinking and remembrance of God."
Salama b. al-Akwa‘ reported the Prophet as saying, “Those of you who make a sacrifice must not have any of it in their house after three days." The following year the people asked him whether they should do as they had done the previous year, and he said, “Eat, provide food for others, and store some up, for that year there was distress among the people and I wanted you to help them."
