عَنْ نَافِعٍ قَالَ: سُئِلَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ صَوْمِ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ فَقَالَ: لَمْ يَصُمْهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَلَا عُمَرُ وَلَا عُثْمَانُ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ

Hadith 3984
(وَمِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ): عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَهُ عَنْ صَوْمِ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ، قَالَ: خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمْ يَصُمْهُ وَمَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَلَمْ يَصُمْهُ، وَمَعَ عُمَرَ فَلَمْ يَصُمْهُ، وَمَعَ عُثْمَانَ فَلَمْ يَصُمْهُ وَأَنَا لَا أَصُومُهُ، وَلَا آمُرُكَ وَلَا أَنْهَاكَ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَصُمْهُ، وَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَلَا تَصُمْهُ
(Second chain) A man asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) about fasting on the Day of Arafah. He said: We set out for Hajj with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he did not fast on that day. Then we came with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and he also did not fast. Then we came with Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and he also did not fast on that day. Then we came with Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), and he also did not fast on that day.
