Jami at-TirmidhiHadith Number 1511
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَابِسِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لأُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَنْهَى عَنْ لُحُومِ الأَضَاحِي قَالَتْ لاَ وَلَكِنْ قَلَّ مَنْ كَانَ يُضَحِّي مِنَ النَّاسِ فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يُطْعَمَ مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُضَحِّي وَلَقَدْ كُنَّا نَرْفَعُ الْكُرَاعَ فَنَأْكُلُهُ بَعْدَ عَشَرَةِ أَيَّامٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَأُمُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ هِيَ عَائِشَةُ زَوْجُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْهَا هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ .
'Abis bin Rabi'ah Narrated from:
I Said To The Mother Of The Believers: 'Did The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Prohibit From The Meat Of The Sacrifice?' She Said: 'No, But Only A Few People Could Slaughter, So He Liked That They Feed Those Who Did Not Slaughter. (Later) We Would Store A Leg To Eat After Ten Days.

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 1511
Hadith 1511 records a question to the Mother of the Believers about whether the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم prohibited the meat of sacrifice. She answered no, then explained that only a few people could slaughter, so he liked that those who had meat would feed those who did not slaughter. She also mentioned storing a leg and eating it after ten days. For searches like why qurbani meat was limited, Aishah sacrifice meat hadith, and storing udhiyah meat, this narration shows a caring reason: feeding people who did not have their own sacrifice. This keeps the reader close to the actual words of the narration.
What we learn from this hadith
- The answer says the issue was not a simple permanent ban.
- The reason mentioned is feeding those who did not slaughter.
- A leg of meat was stored and eaten after ten days.
- The hadith highlights care for people with less access to sacrifice.
