باب في صِيَامِ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ:Chapter: Fasting on the Day of Arafah
Hadith 1803
أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُعَلَّى بْنُ أَسَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ عَنْ صَوْمِ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ، فَقَالَ: "حَجَجْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمْ يَصُمْهُ، وَحَجَجْتُ مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَلَمْ يَصُمْهُ، وَحَجَجْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ، فَلَمْ يَصُمْهُ، وَحَجَجْتُ مَعَ عُثْمَانَ، فَلَمْ يَصُمْهُ، وَأَنَا لَا أَصُومُهُ، وَلَا آمُرُ بِهِ، وَلَا أَنْهَى عَنْهُ".
Ibn Abi Najih narrated from his father that he said: Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) was asked about fasting on the Day of Arafah, so he replied: I performed Hajj with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and he did not fast on the Day of Arafah, and I performed Hajj with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and he also did not fast, and then I performed Hajj with Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and he also did not fast on that day, then I performed Hajj with Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and he also did not fast on that day, and I also do not fast on that day, nor do I order fasting nor do I forbid it.
