Sunan an-Nasa'i 1592
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي وَهْبُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ، قَالَ اجْتَمَعَ عِيدَانِ عَلَى عَهْدِ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ فَأَخَّرَ الْخُرُوجَ حَتَّى تَعَالَى النَّهَارُ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَخَطَبَ فَأَطَالَ الْخُطْبَةَ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَصَلَّى وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ لِلنَّاسِ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْجُمُعَةَ . فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ أَصَابَ السُّنَّةَ .
Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us; he said: Yahya narrated to us; he said: ‘Abd al-Hamid ibn Ja‘far narrated to us; he said: Wahb ibn Kaysan narrated to me: Two Eids coincided during the time of Ibn al-Zubayr. He delayed going out until the day was well advanced, then went out and delivered a long sermon. Then he came down and prayed, and that day he did not lead the people in the Friday prayer. This was mentioned to Ibn ‘Abbas, and he said: “He followed the Sunnah correctly.”
Translation notes
The source says ‘two Eids’ and later mentions Friday prayer, but it does not explicitly identify what the two occasions were; that wording is left as it stands.
قَالَ اجْتَمَعَ عِيدَانِ عَلَى عَهْدِ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ فَأَخَّرَ الْخُرُوجَ حَتَّى تَعَالَى النَّهَارُ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَخَطَبَ فَأَطَالَ الْخُطْبَةَ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَصَلَّى وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ لِلنَّاسِ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْجُمُعَةَ .
The source says that ‘two Eids’ coincided without naming the pair, although it later mentions Friday prayer.
