Mas'ud bin Hakm Ansari's mother says: It seems to me as if I can still see Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) before my eyes, riding on the white mule of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), during the Farewell Pilgrimage. He stopped by a group of the Ansar and said: O people! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say: These are not days of fasting; rather, these are days of eating, drinking, and remembrance.
