686. Ṣilah bin Zufar said: “We were with ‘Ammār bin Yāsir when a roasted sheep was brought and he said: ‘Eat.’ Someone among the people said: ‘I am fasting.’ So ‘Ammār said: ‘Whoever fasts on a day in which there is doubt, then he has disobeyed Abul-Qāsim (ﷺ).’” (Ḍa‘īf) (He said:) There are narrations on this topic from Abū Hurairah and Anas. Abū ‘Eisā said: The Ḥadīth of ‘Ammār is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Ḥadīth. This is acted upon according to most of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, and those who followed them among the Tābi‘īn. It is the view of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, Mālik bin Anas, ‘Abdullāh bin Al-Mubārak, Ash-Shāfi'ī, Aḥmad, and Ishāq. They considered it disliked for a man to fast on the day in which there is doubt. Most of them held the view that if he fasted it and it was one of the days of Ramaḍān then he was to make up a day in place of it.[1]

٦٨٦ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو سَعِيدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَشَجُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ ، عَنْ ‌عَمْرِو بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ ‌صِلَةَ بْنِ زُفَرَ قَالَ: «كُنَّا عِنْدَ ‌عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ، فَأُتِيَ بِشَاةٍ مَصْلِيَّةٍ» فَقَالَ: كُلُوا! فَتَنَحَّى بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي صَائِمٌ! فَقَالَ عَمَّارٌ: مَنْ صَامَ الْيَوْمَ الَّذِي يَشُكُّ فِيهِ النَّاسُ فَقَدْ عَصَى أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَنَسٍ. حَدِيثُ عَمَّارٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَنْ بَعْدَهُمْ مِنَ التَّابِعِينَ، وَبِهِ يَقُولُ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَمَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ وَالشَّافِعِيُّ وَأَحْمَدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ؛ كَرِهُوا أَنْ يَصُومَ الرَّجُلُ الْيَوْمَ الَّذِي يُشَكُّ فِيهِ، وَرَأَى أَكْثَرُهُمْ إِنْ صَامَهُ فَكَانَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ يَوْمًا مَكَانَهُ.
