حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ أَنْبَأَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ مَوْلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ قَالَ ثُمَّ شَهِدْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمَ عِيدٍ بَدَأَ بِالصَّلَاةِ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ وَصَلَّى بِلَا أَذَانٍ وَلَا إِقَامَةٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى أَنْ يُمْسِكَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ نُسُكِهِ شَيْئًا فَوْقَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 587
It was narrated that Abu 'Ubaid, the freed slave of 'Abdur-Rahman bin ' Awf, said: Then I saw 'Ali bin Abi Talib (RA) after that on the day of Eid; he started with the prayer before the khutbah and he prayed with no adhan or iqamah. Then he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah forbidding (the people) to leave any of the meat of their sacrifice after three days.
