Abu Murrah, the client of Umm Hani, entered along with Abdullah bin Amr upon his father Amr bin 'As and he brought food for him. He said: Eat. He said: I am fasting. Amr said: Eat, these are the days on which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to command us to break fast, and forbid us to keep fast. The narrator Malik said: These are the day of al-tashriq (i. e. 11th, 12th, and 13th of Dhu al-Hijjah).

Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
The days following the tenth of the month of Dhu al-Hijjah, namely the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth, are called the Days of Tashreeq and the Days of Mina.
And these are the (أَيَّامًا مَّعْدُودَٰتٍ) (numbered days).
The reason for naming them "Tashreeq" is that during these days, people would cut pieces of meat and spread them out in the sun to dry.
