I asked Ayesha, "Did the Prophet ﷺ forbid eating the meat of sacrificial animals after three days?"She replied, "He only did that during a year when people were suffering from hunger, and he wanted those with means to feed the poor. We ourselves used to set aside a sheep's shank and eat from it fifteen days later."Someone asked, "What forced you to do that?"She laughed and said, "The family of Muhammad ﷺ never ate their fill of seasoned wheat bread for three consecutive days until he met Allah."
قلت لعائشة: أنهى النبي ﷺ أن يمو كل اللحوم الأضاحي فوق ثلاث؟ قالت: ما فعله إلا في عام جاع الناس فيه، فأراد أن يطعم الغني الفقير، وإن كنا لنرفع الكراع، فنأكله بعد خمس عشرة قيل: ما اضطركم إليه؟ فضحكت قالت: ما شبع آل محمد ﷺ من خبز بر مأدوم ثلاثة أيام حتى لحق بالله.
Bukhari narrated it in the Book of Foods (5423), and Muslim in the Book of Asceticism (23:1055), both from the hadith of Sufyan (that is, Thawri), from Abdul-Rahman bin Abis, with this chain, and he mentioned it, the wording being Bukhari's. Muslim confined himself to Ayesha's statement, "The family of Muhammad never had their fill..." to the end.
