It is as if I can see ʿAli bin Abi Talib ؓ , riding the white mule of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he stood at the mountain pass of the Ansar during the Farewell Pilgrimage and said: O people, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ says: ʿThese are not the days of fasting, rather they are days of eating, drinking and remembering Allah.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 708)
كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَى بَغْلَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْبَيْضَاءِ فِي شِعْبِ الْأَنْصَارِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ أَيَّامُ صِيَامٍ إِنَّهَا أَيَّامُ أَكْلٍ وَشُرْبٍ وَذِكْرٍ»
