عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ حُذَافَةَ يَطُوفُ فِي مِنًى: ((أَنْ لَا تَصُومُوا هَذِهِ الْأَيَّامَ فَإِنَّهَا أَيَّامُ أَكْلٍ وَشُرْبٍ وَذِكْرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) sent Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Rawahah (may Allah be pleased with him) to go around Mina and announce: "O people! Do not fast on these days, for they are days of eating, drinking, and remembering Allah, the Exalted."
