حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَخِي ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " كُلُوا مِنَ الأَضَاحِيِّ ثَلاَثًا ". وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَأْكُلُ بِالزَّيْتِ حِينَ يَنْفِرُ مِنْ مِنًى، مِنْ أَجْلِ لُحُومِ الْهَدْىِ.
Salim Narrated from:
`Abdullah bin `Umar said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Eat of the meat of sacrifices (of `Id al Adha) for three days." When `Abdullah departed from Mina, he used to eat (bread with) oil, lest he should eat of the meat of Hadi (which is regarded as unlawful after the three days of the `Id).

Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 5574
This Hadith records Ibn Umar’s report that Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said to eat from the meat of sacrifices for three days. It also mentions Ibn Umar’s own careful practice: when he departed from Mina, he used to eat bread with oil so that he would not eat from the meat of Hadi after the three days. The narration is about caution in following the time limit as he understood it. For searches like eat sacrifice meat for three days, Qurbani meat limit Hadith, and Ibn Umar sacrifice meat, this report gives both the Prophetic statement and the Companion’s practice. It does not discuss every later allowance in this text, so the main focus stays on the three-day instruction.
