حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَفْطَرَ بِعَرَفَةَ وَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ أُمُّ الْفَضْلِ بِلَبَنٍ فَشَرِبَ ‏ .‏ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَابْنِ عُمَرَ وَأُمِّ الْفَضْلِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ حَجَجْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَلَمْ يَصُمْهُ يَعْنِي يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ وَمَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَلَمْ يَصُمْهُ وَمَعَ عُمَرَ فَلَمْ يَصُمْهُ وَمَعَ عُثْمَانَ فَلَمْ يَصُمْهُ ‏.‏ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ يَسْتَحِبُّونَ الإِفْطَارَ بِعَرَفَةَ لِيَتَقَوَّى بِهِ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى الدُّعَاءِ وَقَدْ صَامَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ بِعَرَفَةَ ‏.‏

Ahmad bin Mani' narrated to us: Isma'il bin 'Ulayyah narrated to us: Ayyub narrated to us, from 'Ikrimah, from Ibn 'Abbas, that the Prophet broke his fast at 'Arafah. Umm Al-Fadl sent him some milk, and he drank it. Reports on this topic are also narrated from Abu Hurairah, Ibn 'Umar, and Umm Al-Fadl. Abu 'Isa said: The hadith of Ibn 'Abbas is hasan sahih. It is also reported from Ibn 'Umar that he performed Hajj with the Prophet, who did not fast on the Day of 'Arafah; Abu Bakr, 'Umar, and 'Uthman also did not fast it. Most scholars recommend that pilgrims at 'Arafah refrain from fasting so that they will have strength for supplication, though some scholars did fast on the Day of 'Arafah while there.
