1070. It was reported that Iyās bin Abī Ramlah Ash-Shāmī said: “I was present when Mu'āwiyah bin Abī Sufyān asked Zaid bin Arqam: 'Did you witness two 'Eid being combined on one day during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ?' He replied: 'Yes.' So he said: 'What did he do?' He said: 'He prayed the 'Eid, then was lenient about the Friday prayer, for he said: "Whoever wishes to pray can pray." (Sahih)

1070 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ إِيَاسِ بْنِ أَبِي رَمْلَةَ الشَّامِيِّ، قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، وَهُوَ يَسْأَلُ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ، قَالَ: أَشَهِدْتَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِيدَيْنِ اجْتَمَعَا فِي يَوْمٍ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَكَيْفَ صَنَعَ؟ قَالَ: صَلَّى الْعِيدَ، ثُمَّ رَخَّصَ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ، فَقَالَ: «مَنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ، فَلْيُصَلِّ»

Commentary

This Hadīth and other narrations prove that, in case the day of 'Eid falls on a Friday, one may attend the 'Eid prayer as well as the Friday prayer, or they have a legal excuse to not attend the Friday if they have attended the 'Eid prayer.
