Musnad of Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 163 — Musnad of Umar ibn al-Khattab
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، سَمِعَ أَبَا عُبَيْدٍ ، قَالَ : شَهِدْتُ الْعِيدَ مَعَ عُمَرَ ، فَبَدَأَ بِالصَّلَاةِ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ ، وَقَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " نَهَى عَنْ صِيَامِ هَذَيْنِ الْيَوْمَيْنِ ، أَمَّا يَوْمُ الْفِطْرِ : فَفِطْرُكُمْ مِنْ صَوْمِكُمْ ، وَأَمَّا يَوْمُ الْأَضْحَى : فَكُلُوا مِنْ لَحْمِ نُسُكِكُمْ " .
Abu Ubaid says that once, on the occasion of Eid, I was present in the service of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). He led the prayer before the sermon, then said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade fasting on these two days. On the day of Eid al-Fitr, because on that day your fasting ends, and on the day of Eid al-Adha, so that you may eat the meat of your sacrificial animal.
