12. Book of Fasting
١٢۔ كِتَابُ الصَّوْمِ
ذِكْرُ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْمَرْءِ مُجَانَبَةُ الصَّوْمِ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ إِذَا كَانَ بِعَرَفَاتٍ لِيَكُونَ أَقْوَى عَلَى الدُّعَاءِ
"Ibn Umar was asked about fasting (the Day of) Arafah (at Arafat). He said: 'I performed Hajj with the Prophet, and he did not fast it, and with Abu Bakr, and he did not fast it, and with Umar, and he did not fast it, and with Uthman, and he did not fast it. I do no fast it, nor order it nor forbid it." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 751)
«حَجَجْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَصُمْهُ وَحَجَجْتُ مَعَ أَبَى بَكْرٍ فَلَمْ يَصُمْهُ وَحَجَجْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ فَلَمْ يَصُمْهُ وَحَجَجْتُ مَعَ عُثْمَانَ فَلَمْ يَصُمْهُ وَأَنَا لَا أَصُومُهُ وَلَا آمُرُ بِهِ وَلَا أَنْهَى عَنْهُ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِبَاحَةِ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ بِعَرَفَاتٍ حَتَّى يَكُونَ أَقْوَى عَلَى الدُّعَاءِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ
[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ was brought pomegranate on the day of Arafat, and he ate it." He said, "Umm al-Fadl informed me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was brought milk on the day of Arafat, and he drank from it."
«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِرُمَّانٍ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ فَأَكَلَ» قَالَ وَحَدَّثَتْنِي أُمُّ الْفَضْلِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أُتِيَ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ بِلَبَنٍ فَشَرِبَ مِنْهُ»
ذِكْرُ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْوَاقِفِ بِعَرَفَةَ الْإِفْطَارُ لِيَتَقَوَّى بِهِ عَلَى دُعَائِهِ وَابْتِهَالِهِ
"While the people were with me on the day of ʿArafat they differed as to whether the Prophet ﷺ was fasting or not; some said that he was fasting while others said that he was not fasting. So, I sent to him a bowl full of milk while he was riding over his camel and he drank it." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1988)
«أَنَّ نَاسًا تَمَارَوْا عِنْدَهَا يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ هُوَ صَائِمٌ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لَيْسَ بِصَائِمٍ فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ أُمُّ الْفَضْلِ بِقَدَحِ لَبَنٍ وَهُوَ وَاقِفٌ عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ فَشَرِبَ»
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ هَذَا الْخَبَرَ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ عُمَيْرٌ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ
[Machine] About Maymunah, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , she said, "People expressed doubt regarding the matter of the Prophet ﷺ on the day of Arafah. So Maymunah sent a drink to him while he was standing in the place of standing (meaning in Arafat), and people were watching."
عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ «إِنَّ النَّاسَ شَكُّوا فِي شَأْنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ مَيْمُونَةُ بِحِلَابٍ وَهُوَ وَاقِفٌ فِي الْمَوْقِفِ فَشَرِبَ وَالنَّاسُ يَنْظُرُونَ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِبَاحَةِ لِلْمَرْءِ تَرَكُ صَوْمِ الْعَشْرِ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ، وَإِنْ أَمِنَ الضَّعْفَ لِذَلِكَ
I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fasting during the first ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2439)
«مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَامَ الْعَشْرَ قَطُّ»
