"She said thatafterwards some one said to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah blesshim and grant him peace, that people had been accustomed to make useof their sacrificial animals, melting the fat and curing the skins.The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,"What about that?" They said, "You have forbidden the meat ofsacrificial animals after three days."
