حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ عَمْرٌو أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ، سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ كُنَّا نَتَزَوَّدُ لُحُومَ الأَضَاحِيِّ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، وَقَالَ غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ لُحُومَ الْهَدْىِ.
Jabir bin `Abdullah Narrated from:
During the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ) we used to take with us the meat of the sacrifices (of Id al Adha) to Medina. (The narrator often said. The meat of the Hadi).

Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 5567
This Hadith is brief, but it gives a helpful point about sacrifice meat. Jabir bin Abdullah said that during the lifetime of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, they used to take the meat of the sacrifices of Eid al-Adha to Medina. The narrator also mentioned that Jabir sometimes said “the meat of the Hadi.” The Hadith does not discuss every case or every year. It simply reports that meat was carried with them to Medina during the Prophet’s time. For readers searching for storing Qurbani meat, taking sacrifice meat home, or meat of Hadi Hadith, this narration shows that sacrifice meat was not only eaten immediately at the place of slaughter in the situation described.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Companions took sacrifice meat with them to Medina.
- The narration mentions both meat of sacrifices and meat of Hadi.
- The report shows a practice from the Prophet’s lifetime without adding extra details.
