Muwatta Malik #1080
Sacrificial Animals
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ الْمَكِّيِّ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنْ أَكْلِ لُحُومِ الضَّحَايَا بَعْدَ ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ بَعْدُ
" كُلُوا وَتَصَدَّقُوا وَتَزَوَّدُوا وَادَّخِرُوا " .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zubayr al-Makki from
Jabir ibn Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, forbade that the meat from sacrificial animals be
eaten after three days. Then later he said, "Eat, give sadaqa, provide
for yourselves and store up."
