[Machine] That day should not pass without him fasting, and that day happened to be the day of Eid al-Adha or Eid al-Fitr. Ibn Umar said to him, "Indeed, you had a good example in the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." Then he said, "He did not fast on the day of Eid al-Fitr or the day of Eid al-Adha, nor did he consider fasting on these days obligatory."  

الطبراني:١٣٢٨٢ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَلْمٍ الرَّازِيُّ ثنا سَهْلُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ ثنا جُنَادَةُ بْنُ سَلْمٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ حَكِيمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا يَسْتَفْتِي ابْنَ عُمَرَ فِي رَجُلٍ نَذَرَ نَذْرًا فِي يَوْمٍ مِنَ الْأَيَّامِ

أَنْ لَا يَمُرَّ بِهِ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ إِلَّا وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ فَوَافَقَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ يَوْمَ الْأَضْحَى أَوْ يَوْمَ فِطْرٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ «لَمْ يَكُنْ يَصُومُ يَوْمَ فِطْرٍ وَلَا يَوْمَ أَضْحًى وَلَا يَرَى صِيَامَهُ حَقًّا»

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.

[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.
