(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَنْبَأَنَا
مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ
الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ
أبي عُبَيْدٍ مَوْلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ : أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ الْعِيدَ مَعَ
عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ، فَصَلَّى قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْطُبَ بِلَا أَذَانٍ وَلَا إِقَامَةٍ ، ثُمَّ خَطَبَ ، فَقَالَ : " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ صِيَامِ هَذَيْنِ الْيَوْمَيْنِ ، أَمَّا أَحَدُهُمَا : فَيَوْمُ فِطْرِكُمْ مِنْ صِيَامِكُمْ وَعِيدُكُمْ ، وَأَمَّا الْآخَرُ : فَيَوْمٌ تَأْكُلُونَ فِيهِ مِنْ 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 without any call to prayer (adhan) or iqamah. Then, while delivering the sermon, he said: O people! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade fasting on these two days. On the day of Eid al-Fitr, because it is the day your fasting ends, and on the day of Eid al-Adha, so that you may eat from the meat of your sacrificial animal.
