Sulaiman bin Buraidah Narrated from:
Narrated Sulaiman bin Buraidah: From His Father That The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Said: "I Used To Prohibit You From (Eating) The Meat Of Sacrifice Beyond Three Days So That Those Who Have The Ability Would Give To Those Who Do Not Have It. So (Now) Eat As You Like, Feed Others, And Save From It."

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 1510
Hadith 1510 explains why the earlier rule about not keeping sacrifice meat beyond three days was given. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said it was so that those with ability would give to those without ability. Then he allowed people to eat as they liked, feed others, and save from it. For searchers looking for qurbani meat distribution hadith, eat feed store udhiyah, or sacrifice meat sharing, this narration gives the purpose and the later permission together. It presents Udhiyah meat as something connected with personal use and care for others, not just private eating or wasteful storing. This keeps the reader close to the actual words of the narration.
What we learn from this hadith
- The earlier limit aimed to help those who did not have enough.
- The later permission allowed eating from the sacrifice.
- Feeding others is clearly mentioned in the hadith.
- Saving some meat is also allowed in this narration.
