Hadith 522
522 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: ثنا أَيُّوبُ السِّخْتِيَانِيُّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ بِعَرَفَةَ فَوَجَدْتُهُ يَأْكُلُ رُمَّانًا، فَقَالَ: ادْنُ فَكُلْ لَعَلَّكَ صَائِمٌ؛ «إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَصُمْ هَذَا الْيَوْمَ»
Saeed bin Jubair narrates: I came to Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) at Arafah, and I saw him eating pomegranate. He said: Come forward and eat as well! Perhaps you are fasting; the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) did not fast on this day.
