Sahih BukhariHadith Number 5424
حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ كُنَّا نَتَزَوَّدُ لُحُومَ الْهَدْىِ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ. تَابَعَهُ مُحَمَّدٌ عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ. وَقَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قُلْتُ لِعَطَاءٍ أَقَالَ حَتَّى جِئْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ قَالَ لاَ.

Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 5424
This short hadith about Hadi meat gives a simple practice from the time of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. Jabir says that they used to carry the meat of the sacrificed animals to Medina during the lifetime of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. The report is brief, so the explanation should stay brief and careful. It supports searches like carrying sacrifice meat hadith, Hadi meat to Medina, and hadith about taking Qurbani meat home. The text does not give a detailed rule about every type of meat, every journey, or every later case. It only tells us that this carrying of sacrifice meat happened in that time. It also fits with the wider theme of using food responsibly after sacrifice.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Companions carried meat from sacrificed animals during the Prophet's صلى الله عليه وسلم lifetime.
- The narration shows food from sacrifice could serve as provision.
- The text is short and should not be stretched beyond its wording.
- It reminds readers that food after sacrifice was used, not wasted.
