Hadith 1592

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ ، عَنْ إِيَاسِ بْنِ أَبِي رَمْلَةَ ، قال : سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ سَأَلَ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ " أَشَهِدْتَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِيدَيْنِ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ صَلَّى الْعِيدَ مِنْ أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ ثُمَّ رَخَّصَ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ " .
´It was narrated that Iyas bin Abi Ramlah said:` "I heard Mu'awiyah asking Zaid bin Arqam: 'Did you attend two 'Eids with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?' He said: 'Yes; he prayed 'Eid at the beginning of the day then he granted a concession with regard to jumu'ah.'"

1070. Commentary:
From this hadith and some other reports, it is established that if Eid and Jumu‘ah (Friday prayer) both occur on the same day, then after performing the Eid prayer, there is a concession regarding Jumu‘ah: one may either perform Jumu‘ah or the Zuhr (noon) prayer. However, performing Jumu‘ah is recommended (mustahabb). It is preferable that the Imam acts upon what is recommended rather than upon the concession, so that those who wish to perform Jumu‘ah do not face any difficulty or inconvenience—unless the number of worshippers is limited and, by mutual agreement, it is decided not to perform Jumu‘ah. In that case, no worshipper will face any difficulty; rather, all will perform the Zuhr prayer. «والله أعلم»

«أخرجه أبوداود، الصلاة، باب إذا وافق يوم الجمعة يوم عيد، حديث:1070، والنسائي، صلاة العيدين، حديث:1592، وابن ماجه، إقامة الصلوات، حديث:1310، وأحمد:4 /372، وابن خزيمة:2 /359، حديث:1464.»©

Explanation:
➊ This hadith proves that when both Jumu‘ah (Friday prayer) and ‘Eid occurred on the same day, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) performed the ‘Eid prayer and left the Jumu‘ah prayer to each individual’s discretion. In Abu Dawud, it is narrated from Abu Hurayrah (radi Allahu anhu) that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Today, two ‘Eids have come together, so whoever wishes may consider the ‘Eid prayer sufficient, but we will certainly perform Jumu‘ah.” (Sunan Abi Dawud, Kitab al-Salat, Chapter: If the Day of Jumu‘ah Coincides with the Day of ‘Eid, Hadith: 1073)

➋ This hadith is evidence that if Jumu‘ah falls on the day of ‘Eid, then after performing the ‘Eid prayer, Jumu‘ah is no longer obligatory; rather, the Zuhr prayer may be performed. Therefore, those coming from distant places can benefit from this concession. However, the Hanafis do not accept this view.

➌ The common belief among the public that if ‘Eid and Jumu‘ah fall on the same day, it signals the downfall of the ruling government is entirely based on superstition. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) actually declared it a day of two ‘Eids, but the public, out of ignorance, take it as a bad omen, which is absolutely incorrect.
