أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَابِسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَی عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْتُ أَکَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْهَی عَنْ لُحُومِ الْأَضَاحِيِّ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثٍ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ أَصَابَ النَّاسَ شِدَّةٌ فَأَحَبَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُطْعِمَ الْغَنِيُّ الْفَقِيرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْکُلُونَ الْکُرَاعَ بَعْدَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ قُلْتُ مِمَّ ذَاکَ فَضَحِکَتْ فَقَالَتْ مَا شَبِعَ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ خُبْزٍ مَأْدُومٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ حَتَّی لَحِقَ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4447
It was narrated from ‘Abdur Rahman bin ‘Abis that his father said: “I came in to ‘Aishah and said: ‘Did the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم forbid (eating) the meat of the sacrificial animals after three days?’ She said: ‘Yes. Hardship had befallen the people, and the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم wanted the rich to feed the poor.’ Then she said: ‘I remember the family of Muhammad eating the trotters after fifteen days.’ I said: ‘Why is that?’ She laughed and said: ‘The family of Muhammad never ate their fill of bread and something to go with it, for three days in row, until lie met Allah, the Mighty and Sublime.” (Sahih)
