I saw ʿAli and ʿUthman ؓ on the day of (Eid) al-fitr and (Eid) al-Adhaa; they prayed, then when they finished they reminded the people. I heard them saying. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade fasting on these two days, It was narrated from ʿAtaʿ bin Yazeed al-Jundaʿi that he heard Humran the freed slave of ʿUthman bin ʿAffan ؓ , say. I saw Ameer al-Muʿmineen ʿUthman do wudoo’; he poured water onto his hands three times, then he rinsed his nose three times and rinsed his mouth three times... and he mentioned the Hadeeth, similar to the Hadeeth of Maʿmar.  

عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ قَالَشَهِدْتُ عَلِيًّا وَعُثْمَانَ فِي يَوْمِ الْفِطْرِ وَالنَّحْرِ يُصَلِّيَانِ ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفَانِ فَيُذَكِّرَانِ النَّاسَ فَسَمِعْتُهُمَا يَقُولانِ نَهَى رَسُولُاللهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَوْمِ هَذَيْنِ الْيَوْمَيْنِ  

"عَنْ أَبِى عُبيْدٍ مَوْلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمنِ بْنِ أَزْهَرَ قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ عَلِيا وعُثْمَانَ يَوْمَ الفطرِ وَالنَّحْرِ يُصَليَّانِ ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفَانِ فَيُذَكِّرَانِ النَّاسَ فَسَمِعْتُهُمَا يَقُو لَانِ: نَهَى رسُولُ الله ﷺ عَنْ صِيَامِ هَذَيْنِ الْيَوْمَيْنِ، وسَمِعْتُهُما يَقُولَانِ: نَهَى رسُولُ الله ﷺ أَنْ يَبْقَى مِنْ نُسُكِكُمْ عِنْدَكُم شَىْءٌ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثٍ".
