(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ): عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسَ دَعَا أَخَاهُ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ إِلَى طَعَامٍ، قَالَ: إِنِّي صَائِمٌ، قَالَ: إِنَّكُمْ أَئِمَّةٌ، (وَفِي لَفْظٍ: أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ) يُقْتَدَى بِكُمْ قَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَعَا بِحِلَابٍ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ فَشَرِبَ
(Second chain) Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) invited his brother Ubaidullah to eat on the day of Arafah, but he said: I am fasting. Upon hearing this, he said: You people are leaders and members of the Ahl al-Bayt, and for this reason, people follow your example. I saw that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) drank milk on this day after having it brought to him.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … From these ahadith it is established that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and the Rightly Guided Caliphs did not fast on the Day of Arafah during Hajj. However, a pilgrim performing Hajj al-Tamattu‘ who does not possess a sacrificial animal (hady) may fast on the dates of (9th, 11th, 12th, and 13th) of Dhu al-Hijjah.
