that he was asked about a man who had vowed that he would fast all the days of his life then the day of ʿId al Adha or ʿId-al-Fitr came. ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar said: You have indeed a good example in Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He did not fast on the day of ʿId al Adha or the day of ʿId-al-Fitr, and we do not intend fasting on these two days.  

أَنْ لاَ يَأْتِيَ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمٌ إِلاَّ صَامَ فَوَافَقَ يَوْمَ أَضْحًى أَوْ فِطْرٍ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَصُومُ يَوْمَ الأَضْحَى وَالْفِطْرِ وَلاَ يَرَى صِيَامَهُمَا  

[Machine] That he would not come upon it a day but he would be fasting in it, and that happened to be the day of Eid al-Adha or the day of Eid al-Fitr. Ibn Umar said, "You had a good example in the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." [Al-Ahzab 21] The Prophet ﷺ did not fast on the day of Eid al-Adha or the day of Eid al-Fitr, nor did he command their fasting.  

أَنْ لَا يَأْتِيَ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمٌ سَمَّاهُ إِلَّا وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ فِيهِ فَوَافَقَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمَ أَضْحَى أَوْ يَوْمَ فِطْرٍ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ {لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ أُسْوَةٌ} [الأحزاب 21] حَسَنَةٌ لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصُومُ يَوْمَ الْأَضْحَى وَلَا يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ وَلَا يَأْمُرُ بِصِيَامِهِمَا  

[Machine] Does it come upon him on a day he fasts on it, but that happens to be either the day of sacrifice or the day of breaking the fast? Ibn 'Umar replied, "Indeed you have in the Messenger of Allah a good example." (Al-Ahzab 21) The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not fast on the day of sacrifice or the day of breaking the fast, nor did he command to fast on both of them.  

يَأْتِيَ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمٌ سَمَّاهُ إِلَّا وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ فِيهِ فَوَافَقَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمَ أَضْحَى أَوْ يَوْمَ فِطْرٍ؟ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ؓ {لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ} [الأحزاب 21] لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصُومُ يَوْمَ الْأَضْحَى وَلَا يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ وَلَا يَأْمُرُ بِصِيَامِهِمِا
