Musnad Ahmad 2866 — Musnad of Abdullah ibn al-Abbas ibn Abd
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، أَنْبَأَنَا عَطَاءٌ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ، يَقُولُ : " إِنْ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَنْ لَا يَغْدُوَ أَحَدُكُمْ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ حَتَّى يَطْعَمَ ، فَلْيَفْعَلْ " . قَالَ : فَلَمْ أَدَعْ أَنْ آكُلَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَغْدُوَ ، مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ ذَلِكَ مِنَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، فَآكُلَ مِنْ طَرَفِ الصَّرِيقَةِ الْأَكْلَةَ ، أَوْ أَشْرَبَ اللَّبَنَ ، أَوْ الْمَاءَ . قُلْتُ : فَعَلَامَ يُؤَوَّلُ هَذَا ؟ قَالَ : سَمِعَهُ أَظُنُّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " كَانُوا لَا يَخْرُجُونَ حَتَّى يَمْتَدَّ الضَّحَاءُ ، فَيَقُولُونَ : نَطْعَمُ لِئَلَّا نَعْجَلَ عَنْ صَلَاتِنَا " .
Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) says that he heard Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) saying: "On the day of Eid al-Fitr, if possible, you should eat or drink something before going out for the prayer." Since I heard this from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), I have never left the practice of eating or drinking something before going out in the morning, whether it is a piece of flatbread, or I drink milk, or I drink water. The narrator says: I asked, "What is the reason for this?" Ata replied: "I think he must have heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying this in the same way." And he said that people used to go out for the Eid prayer when the light had spread well, and they used to say: "We should eat or drink something beforehand so that we do not rush in the prayer."
