Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ خَبَّابٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَدِمَ مِنْ سَفَرٍ، فَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ أَهْلُهُ لَحْمًا مِنْ لُحُومِ الأَضْحَى فَقَالَ مَا أَنَا بِآكِلِهِ حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ، فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى أَخِيهِ لأُمِّهِ وَكَانَ بَدْرِيًّا قَتَادَةَ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ فَسَأَلَهُ، فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ حَدَثَ بَعْدَكَ أَمْرٌ نَقْضٌ لِمَا كَانُوا يُنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ مِنْ أَكْلِ لُحُومِ الأَضْحَى بَعْدَ ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ‏.‏

Translation

ʿAbdullah ibn Yusuf narrated to us: Al-Layth narrated to us: He said: Yahya ibn Saʿid narrated to me, from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, from Ibn Khabbab, that Abu Saʿid ibn Malik al-Khudri (may God be pleased with him) returned from a journey. His family served him some of the sacrificial meat, but he said, “I will not eat it until I ask.” He went to his maternal half-brother, Qatada ibn al-Nuʿman, who had been at Badr, and asked him. Qatada said, “Something happened after you left that abrogated the prohibition they had been given against eating sacrificial meat after three days.”
