Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الأَحْمَرُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ صِلَةَ بْنِ زُفَرَ، قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ عَمَّارٍ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي يُشَكُّ فِيهِ فَأُتِيَ بِشَاةٍ فَتَنَحَّى بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ عَمَّارٌ مَنْ صَامَ هَذَا الْيَوْمَ فَقَدْ عَصَى أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏.‏

Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Numayr narrated to us; Abu Khalid al-Ahmar narrated to us, from Amr ibn Qays, from Abu Ishaq, from Silah ibn Zufar, who said: We were with Ammar on the day of uncertainty. A sheep was brought, and some of the people moved aside. Ammar said, ‘Whoever fasts on this day has disobeyed Abu al-Qasim (peace and blessings be upon him).’
