أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَی بْنُ حَمَّادٍ زُغْبَةُ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ ابْنِ خَبَّابٍ هُوَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ خَبَّابٍ أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ قَدِمَ مِنْ سَفَرٍ فَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ أَهْلُهُ لَحْمًا مِنْ لُحُومِ الْأَضَاحِيِّ فَقَالَ مَا أَنَا بِآکِلِهِ حَتَّی أَسْأَلَ فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَی أَخِيهِ لِأُمِّهِ قَتَادَةَ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ وَکَانَ بَدْرِيًّا فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ ذَلِکَ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ قَدْ حَدَثَ بَعْدَکَ أَمْرٌ نَقْضًا لِمَا کَانُوا نُهُوا عَنْهُ مِنْ أَکْلِ لُحُومِ الْأَضَاحِيِّ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4442
It was narrated from Ibn Khabbab — who is ‘Abdullah bin Khabbab — that Abu Saeed Al Khudri arrived from a journey and his family offered him some meat from the sacrificial animal. He said: “I am not going to eat it until I ask about it.” So he went to his half-brother through his mother, Qatadah bin An who had been present at Badr, and asked him about that. He said: “The opposite of what you were forbidden occurred after that, and (permission was granted) to eat the sacrificial meat after three days.” (Sahih)
