751. Ibn Abī Najīḥ narrated from his father who said: "Ibn 'Umar was asked about fasting (the Day of) 'Arafah (at 'Arafāt). He said: 'I performed Hajj with the Prophet ﷺ, and he did not fast it, and with Abū Bakr, and he did not fast it, and with ‘Umar, and he did not fast it, and with ‘Uthmān, and he did not fast it. I do not fast it, nor order it nor forbid it.” (Saḥih) Abū ‘Eisā said: This Hadīth is Ḥasan, Abū Najīh’s name is Yaṣār, and he heard from Ibn ‘Umar, and this Hadīth was also reported from Ibn Najīh from his father, from a man, from Ibn ‘Umar.

٧٥١ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ ‌وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ‌وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ قَالَ: «سُئِلَ ‌ابْنُ عُمَرَ عَنْ صَوْمِ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ بِعَرَفَةَ»، فَقَالَ: حَجَجْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمْ يَصُمْهُ، وَمَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَلَمْ يَصُمْهُ، وَمَعَ عُمَرَ فَلَمْ يَصُمْهُ، وَمَعَ عُثْمَانَ فَلَمْ يَصُمْهُ، وَأَنَا لَا أَصُومُهُ وَلَا آمُرُ بِهِ وَلَا أَنْهَى عَنْهُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ. وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ أَيْضًا عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، وَأَبُو نَجِيحٍ اسْمُهُ يَسَارٌ، قَدْ سَمِعَ مِنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ.

Commentary

Ibn ‘Umar meant that the example and practice of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and the caliphs was not to fast the Day of Arafah in the valley of Arafāt.
