(Second chain) A man asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) about fasting on the Day of Arafah.

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.
