وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ مِنْ سَفَرٍ فَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ أَهْلُهُ لَحْمًا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ انْظُرُوا أَنْ يَكُونَ هَذَا مِنْ لُحُومِ الأَضْحَى ‏.‏ فَقَالُوا هُوَ مِنْهَا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ أَلَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنْهَا فَقَالُوا إِنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَعْدَكَ أَمْرٌ ‏.‏ فَخَرَجَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فَسَأَلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَأُخْبِرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏

"‏ نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ لُحُومِ الأَضْحَى بَعْدَ ثَلاَثٍ فَكُلُوا وَتَصَدَّقُوا وَادَّخِرُوا وَنَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ الاِنْتِبَاذِ فَانْتَبِذُوا وَكُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ وَنَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ فَزُورُوهَا وَلاَ تَقُولُوا هُجْرًا ‏"

Yahya related to me from Malik from Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman that Abu Said alKhudri returned from a journey and his family gave him some meat. He asked whether it was meat from the sacrifice. They replied that it was. Abu Said said, "Didn't the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, forbid that?" They said, "There has been a new command from the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, since you went away." Abu Said went out and made enquiries about it and was told that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had said,"I forbade you before to eat meat of the sacrifice after three days, but now eat, give sadaqa and store up. I forbade you before to make nabidh (by soaking raisins or dates in water), but now make nabidh, but remember every intoxicant is haram .I forbade you to visit graves, but now visit them, and do not use bad language."

Reported by Malik (No. 1038).

Abu al-Walid al-Baji — Al-Muntaqa

( ش ) : قَوْلُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ لَمَّا قُدِّمَ إِلَيْهِ اللَّحْمُ اُنْظُرُوا أَنْ يَكُونَ هَذَا مِنْ لُحُومِ الْأَضَاحِي عَلَى وَجْهِ التَّحَرُّزِ وَالِاحْتِيَاطِ لِدِينِهِ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ لَا يَأْكُلُ فِي انْصِرَافِهِ مِنْ مِنًى إِلَّا الزَّيْتَ خَوْفًا مِنْ لُحُومِ الْأَضَاحِي الَّتِي كَانَ يَعْتَقِدُ اسْتِدَامَةَ الْمَنْعِ فِيهَا وَكَذَلِكَ يَجِبُ لِلْمُتَحَفِّظِ بِدِينِهِ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ وَيَبْحَثَ إِنْ كَثُرَ الْمَحْظُورُ فَإِذَا كَانَ شَاذًّا جَازَ أَنْ يُحْمَلَ عَلَى الْأَغْلَبِ. ( فَصْلٌ ) قَوْلُهُ لَمَّا ذُكِرَ لَهُ أَنَّهَا مِنْ لُحُومِ الْأَضَاحِي أَلَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْهَا إنْكَارٌ لِتَقْدِي…

Authentic Sunan Abu Dawud 2813

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: We forbade you to eat their meat for more than three days in order that you might have abundance; now Allah has produced abundance, so you may eat, store up and seek reward. Beware, these days are days of eating, drinking and remembrance of Allah, Most High.
