Does the sacrifice last four days?

Question

In al-‘Ayni, which is a commentary on Sahih al-Bukhari, vol. 9, p. 10, there is the statement of Hazrat Ibn ‘Abbas ﵄ that the days of sacrifice are three, and Imam al-Tahawi ﵀ stated it with a good chain. But this statement of Hazrat Ibn ‘Abbas ﵄ is not found in al-Tahawi. In which book of Imam al-Tahawi ﵀ is this statement? Please write out the full chain from that book.

Answer

Al-Bayhaqi narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas ﵄: [ar]الأضحى ثلاثة أيام بعد يوم النحر[/ar] “The sacrifice is three days after the day of slaughter (yawm al-nahr).” This is a mawquf report (a Companion’s statement not traced back to the Prophet ﷺ).
