Muhammad bin 'Abdul-Malik bin Abi Ash-Shawarib narrated to us: Yazid bin Zurai' narrated to us: Ma'mar narrated to us, from Az-Zuhri, from Abu 'Ubaid, the freedman of 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf, who said: I was present with 'Umar bin Al-Khattab on the Day of Sacrifice. He began with the prayer before the sermon, then said: I heard the Messenger of Allah prohibit fasting on these two days. As for the Day of Fitr, it is the day you end your fast, and a celebration for the Muslims. As for the Day of Adha, eat from the meat of your sacrifice. This hadith is sahih. Abu 'Ubaid, the freedman of 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf, was named Sa'd. He is also called the freedman of 'Abdur-Rahman bin Azhar; 'Abdur-Rahman bin Azhar was the cousin of 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf.
