قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، مَوْلَى ابْنِ أَزْهَرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ شَهِدْتُ الْعِيدَ مَعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَجَاءَ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذَيْنِ يَوْمَانِ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ صِيَامِهِمَا يَوْمُ فِطْرِكُمْ مِنْ صِيَامِكُمْ وَالْآخَرُ يَوْمٌ تَأْكُلُونَ فِيهِ مِنْ نُسُكِكُمْ‏.‏

Translation

I recited to ‘Abd al-Rahman, from Malik, from Ibn Shihab, from Abu ‘Ubayd, the client of Ibn Azhar, who said: I attended the Eid prayer with ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him. He came, prayed, then turned and addressed the people, saying, ‘These are two days on which the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade fasting: the day you break your fast, and the other day on which you eat from your sacrificial offering.’
