Hadith 1805
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي مُرَّةَ مَوْلَى عَقِيلٍ، أَنَّهُ: دَخَلَ هُوَ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، وَذَلِكَ الْغَدَ أَوْ بَعْدَ الْغَدِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْأَضْحَى، فَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْهِمْ عَمْرٌو طَعَامًا، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: إِنِّي صَائِمٌ . فَقَالَ عَمْرٌو: "أَفْطِرْ، فَإِنَّ هَذِهِ الْأَيَّامَ الَّتِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْمُرُنَا بِفِطْرِهَا وَيَنْهَانَا عَنْ صِيَامِهَا . فَأَفْطَرَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، فَأَكَلَ وَأَكَلْتُ مَعَهُ".
It is narrated from Abu Murrah, the freed slave of Aqeel, that he and Abdullah bin Amr went to the service of their father, Sayyiduna Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him), on the first or second day after Eid al-Adha (the 11th or 12th of Dhul-Hijjah). Sayyiduna Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) served food for both of them. Abdullah said: I am fasting. Sayyiduna Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Break your fast, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us to break our fast during these days and forbade us from fasting. So Abdullah bin Amr broke his fast and ate the food, and I also ate with them.
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadiths 1803 to 1805)
Some imams, reasoning from these hadiths, have prohibited fasting during the days of Tashreeq (Ayyam al-Tashreeq) in an absolute sense. However, the more correct view is that it is not appropriate for a pilgrim (haji) to fast on the Day of Arafah (the 9th of Dhu al-Hijjah) and during the days of Tashreeq (the 11th, 12th, and 13th of Dhu al-Hijjah). However, a mutamatti‘ (one performing tamattu‘ Hajj) who does not have the means to offer a sacrifice and who did not fast at the beginning of Dhu al-Hijjah, may fast for three days during the days of Tashreeq. As for the fast of Arafah, it is a source of goodness and blessing for those who are not present at Arafat, and it has great merit. Due to this one fast, the minor sins of the previous and coming year are forgiven, as is mentioned in Sahih Muslim.
In countries other than Saudi Arabia, one should also fast on the Day of Arafah, whether it falls on the 8th or 9th of Dhu al-Hijjah. Nowadays, through the media, it is possible to know when the Day of Arafah is.
In India and similar places, people fast according to their own calculation on the 9th of Dhu al-Hijjah, which, in Saudi Arabia, is actually the 10th of Dhu al-Hijjah and the Day of Sacrifice (Yawm al-Nahr), not the Day of Arafah.
«(فَلْيَتَأَمَّلِ الْعَامِلُوْنَ)» , and it is also preferable to fast from the 1st to the 9th of Dhu al-Hijjah.
