542. 'Abdullāh bin Buraidah narrated from his father: "The Prophet ﷺ would not leave on the Day of Fitr until he ate, and he would not eat on the day of Adhā until he prayed." (Hasan) [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Ali and Anas. Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Buraidah bin Huṣaib Al-Aslamī is a Gharīb Hadīth. Muḥammad said: "I do not know of a Hadīth from Thawāb bin 'Utbah other than this." There are those among the people of knowledge who consider it recommended that one should not go out on the Day of Fitr until he has eaten something. It is recommended that dates are used for that. They also recommend that he does not eat on the Day of Adhā until he returns.

٥٤٢ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْبَزَّارُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ ، عَنْ ‌ثَوَابِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ قَالَ: «كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَخْرُجُ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ حَتَّى يَطْعَمَ» وَلَا يَطْعَمُ يَوْمَ الْأَضْحَى حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ وَأَنَسٍ. حَدِيثُ بُرَيْدَةَ بْنِ حُصَيْبٍ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ، وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ: لَا أَعْرِفُ لِثَوَابِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ غَيْرَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، وَقَدِ اسْتَحَبَّ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنْ لَا يَخْرُجَ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ حَتَّى يَطْعَمَ شَيْئًا وَيُسْتَحَبُّ لَهُ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ عَلَى تَمْرٍ وَلَا يَطْعَمَ يَوْمَ الْأَضْحَى حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ.

Commentary

As 'Eid Al-Fitr comes after the month of fasting, most people of knowledge without any disagreement, said Imām Ibn Qudāmah, liked to eat something before leaving for 'Eid Al-Fitr, and on the Day of 'Eid Al-Adhā, as the real and main deed is the sacrifice, the meat of the sacrifice is to be eaten on returning from 'Eid prayer; if one does not have the sacrifice, he may then eat anything soon after the prayer.
