Hadith 6705

If somebody has vowed that he will observe Saum (fast) for a few successive days and then those days appear to coincide with 'Eid-ul-Adhā or 'Eid-ul-Fitr (should he observe fast then or make expiation, or observe fast on other days)?.

6705. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar رضي الله عنهم: that he was asked about a man who had vowed that he would observe Saum (fast) all the days of his life; then the day of 'Eid-ul-Adhā or 'Eid-ul-Fitr came. 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar said: "Indeed in the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ you have a good example (to follow). He did not observe fast on the day of 'Eid-ul-Adhā or the day of 'Eid-ul-Fitr, and we do not fast on these two days."

6705 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ المُقَدَّمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَكِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي حُرَّةَ الأَسْلَمِيُّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: سُئِلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ نَذَرَ أَنْ لاَ يَأْتِيَ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمٌ إِلَّا صَامَ، فَوَافَقَ يَوْمَ أَضْحًى أَوْ فِطْرٍ، فَقَالَ: " {لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ} [الأحزاب: 21] لَمْ يَكُنْ يَصُومُ يَوْمَ الأَضْحَى وَالفِطْرِ، وَلاَ يَرَى صِيَامَهُمَا "
