Whilst we were in Mina, I saw ʿAli bin Abi Talib ؓ say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “These days are for eating and drinking, so no one should fast these days.” And he went around to the people on his camel, shouting that, (Using translation from Aḥmad 567)
بَيْنَا نَحْنُ بِمِنًى إِذَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَى جَمَلٍ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ هَذِهِ أَيَّامُ طُعْمٍ وَشُرْبٍ فَلَا يَصُمْ أَحَدٌ»
