حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق، عَنْ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ : " يَوْمُ الْحَجِّ الْأَكْبَرِ يَوْمُ النَّحْرِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ ، وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنَ الْحَدِيثِ الْأَوَّلِ ، وَرِوَايَةُ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ مَوْقُوفًا ، أَصَحُّ مِنْ رِوَايَةِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاق مَرْفُوعًا ، هَكَذَا رَوَى غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الْحُفَّاظِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ مَوْقُوفًا ، وَقَدْ رَوَى شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق ، قَالَ : عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ مَوْقُوفًا .
´Ali narrated:` "They day of Al-Hajj Al-Akbar is the Day of An-Nahr."
Brief Explanation
1؎: The tenth day is called "Hajj Akbar" (the Greater Hajj) because most of the rites of Hajj are performed on this day, such as the stoning of Jamrah Aqabah (throwing pebbles), halq (shaving the head), sacrifice, tawaf al-ziyarah, and other acts of Hajj. As for the common belief among the masses that "Hajj Akbar" refers to that Hajj in which the tenth day falls on a Friday, there is no basis for this. As for the narration of Talhah ibn Ubaydullah ibn Karz «أفضل الأيام يوم عرفه وإذا وافق يوم جمعة فهو أفضل من سبعين حجة في غير يوم جمعة», it is mursal, and its chain of transmission is also unknown. The majority understand "Hajj Asghar" to mean 'umrah, and there is also an opinion that "Hajj Asghar" is the Day of 'Arafah and "Hajj Akbar" is the Day of Nahr (the day of sacrifice).
2؎: That is, in the narration of Shu'bah, there is the addition of the intermediary of 'Abdullah ibn Murrah between Abu Ishaq al-Sabi'i and Harith, whereas in the narrations of other huffaz (memorizers of hadith), this is not the case.
