1557. It was narrated that Anas bin Mâlik said: "The people of the Jâhiliyyah had two days each year when they would play. When the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ came to Al-Madînah he said: 'You had two days when you would play, but Allâh has given Muslims something instead that is better than them: the day of Al-Fitr and the day of Al-Adhha.'" (Sahîh)
1556 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ لِأَهْلِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَوْمَانِ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ يَلْعَبُونَ فِيهِمَا، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ، قَالَ: " كَانَ لَكُمْ يَوْمَانِ تَلْعَبُونَ فِيهِمَا وَقَدْ أَبْدَلَكُمُ اللَّهُ بِهِمَا خَيْرًا مِنْهُمَا: يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ، وَيَوْمَ الْأَضْحَى "

1. "Two days" denotes Nawrûz and Mehrjan. The Nawrûz used to be the first day of the New Year. The Mehrjan was celebrated like a carnival during the springtime. Both these days were in fact the festivals of the Persians or the Iranians. The Arabs celebrated these two days in imitation of them. 2. The term 'Eid' is a derivative of Awd, which signifies an occurrence that betides frequently. The 'Eid' occurs again and again. Besides, everyone desires to rejoice in it time and again. And people also supplicate for each other for numerous 'Eids' (in their lives).
