اُردوEn
اَخْبَرَنَا سُفْیَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِیْنَارٍ: اَنَّهٗ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ یُکَبِّرُ یَوْمَ الْعِیْدَیْنِ۔ قَالَ عَمْرٌو: وَلَا اَدْرِیْ اَیِّ الْاَمْرَیْنِ یُرِیْدُ، قَوْلُ اللّٰهِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ: ﴿فَاِذَا قَضَیْتُمْ مَنَاسِکَکُمْ فَاذْکُرُوْا اللّٰهَ﴾ الْآیَةِ، اَمْ قَوْلُهٗ: ﴿وَاذْکُرُوا اللّٰهَ فِیْ اَیَّامٍ مَّعْدُوْدٰتٍ﴾ .
It is narrated from Amr bin Dinar that he heard Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) reciting the takbeers (Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar) on the days of Eid. Amr (bin Dinar) said: I do not know which of the two matters he intended. The statement of Allah Almighty: "When you have completed the rites of Hajj, then remember Allah." Or His statement: "And remember Allah during the appointed number of days."
