حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْبَزَّارُ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، عَنْ ثَوَابِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ : " كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَخْرُجُ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ حَتَّى يَطْعَمَ وَلَا يَطْعَمُ يَوْمَ الْأَضْحَى حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَ " . قَالَ : وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، وَأَنَسٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ بُرَيْدَةَ بْنِ حُصَيْبٍ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ . وقَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ : لَا أَعْرِفُ لِثَوَابِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ غَيْرَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ، وَقَدِ اسْتَحَبَّ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنْ لَا يَخْرُجَ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ حَتَّى يَطْعَمَ شَيْئًا وَيُسْتَحَبُّ لَهُ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ عَلَى تَمْرٍ ، وَلَا يَطْعَمَ يَوْمَ الْأَضْحَى حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ .
´Abdullah bin Buraidah narrated from his father:` "The Prophet would not leave on the Day of Fitr until he ate, and he would not eat on the day of Adha until he prayed."

Explanation & Benefits

English Commentary:
1:
The Muslims of the Indian subcontinent, for some unknown reason, have established the definitive custom of eating vermicelli (sweet noodles) before going to the Eidgah, and also eating and serving them upon returning. This custom is adhered to such an extent that "Eid al-Fitr" and vermicelli have become inseparable, just as "meat" is with Eid al-Adha. Observing this custom to such an extent falls under the category of innovation (bid‘ah).

➋ The common people refer to this abstention as fasting; this is incorrect. Fasting on the day of Eid is not permissible, nor can the abstention from eating before the Eid prayer be called fasting.
