١٣۔١٨ باب اسْتِحْبَابِ الْفِطْرِ لِلْحَاجِّ بِعَرَفَاتٍ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ

(686) bukhari:1661ʿAbdullāh b. Maslamah > Mālik > Abū al-Naḍr > ʿUmayr a freed slave of ʿAbdullāh b. al-ʿAbbās > Um al-Faḍl b. al-Ḥārith

On the day of ʿArafat, some people who were with me, differed about the fasting of the Prophet ﷺ some said that he was fasting while others said that he was not fasting. So I sent a bowl full of milk to him while he was riding his camel, and he drank that milk.  

(٦٨٦) البخاري:١٦٦١حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي النَّضْرِ عَنْ عُمَيْرٍ مَوْلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ أُمِّ الْفَضْلِ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ

أَنَّ نَاسًا اخْتَلَفُوا عِنْدَهَا يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ فِي صَوْمِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ هُوَ صَائِمٌ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لَيْسَ بِصَائِمٍ فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ بِقَدَحِ لَبَنٍ وَهْوَ وَاقِفٌ عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ فَشَرِبَهُ  

(687) bukhari:1989Yaḥyá b. Sulaymān > Ibn WahbAw Quriʾ ʿAlayh > ʿAmr > Bukayr > Kurayb > Maymūnah

The people doubted whether the Prophet ﷺ was fasting on the day of ʿArafat or not, so I sent milk while he was standing at ʿArafat, he drank it and the people were looking at him.  

(٦٨٧) البخاري:١٩٨٩حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَوْ قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو عَنْ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ ؓ

أَنَّ النَّاسَ شَكُّوا فِي صِيَامِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ بِحِلاَبٍ وَهْوَ وَاقِفٌ فِي الْمَوْقِفِ فَشَرِبَ مِنْهُ وَالنَّاسُ يَنْظُرُونَ
