عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صَوْمِ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ بِعَرَفَاتٍ فَقَالَ: نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ صَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ بِعَرَفَاتٍ
Mawla Ibn Abbas, Hazrat Ikrimah says: I visited Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) at his home and asked him about fasting on the Day of Arafah. He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade fasting on the Day of Arafah in the plain of Arafat.
