to Amra bint Abd ar-Rahman, and she affirmed that he had spoken the truth as
she had heard A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, say, 'Some people from the desert came at the time of the sacrifice
in the time of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, so the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said, 'Store up for three days, and give what is left over as sadaqa.' "
She said that afterwards some one said to the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, that people had
been accustomed to make use of their sacrificial animals, melting the fat and
curing the skins. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "What about that?" They said, "You have forbidden the meat of
sacrificial animals after three days." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "I only forbade you for the sake of the people
who were coming to you. Eat, give sadaqa and store up."
By these people, he meant the poor people who
were coming to Madina.

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,

intoxicant is haram .I forbade you to visit graves, but now visit them, and do
not use bad language."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Umara ibn
Yasar that Ata ibn Yasar told him that Abu Ayyub al-Ansari had told him, "We
used to sacrifice one sheep, and a man sacrificed for himself and his family.
Then later on people began to compete with each other and it became boasting."
Malik said, "The best that I have heard about
a single camel, cow or sheep, is that a man should sacrifice a camel for
himself and his family. He sacrifices a cow or sheep which he owns for his
family, and shares with them in it. It is disapproved for a group of people to
buy a camel, cow or sheep, to share for the ritual and sacrifices, each man
giving a share of its price, and taking a share of its meat. We have heard the
tradition that people do not share in the ritual. However, it may be that the
people of one household can share."
