Forbidden Fasting and Sales in Pre-Islamic Period

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ مِينَا، قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ يُنْهَى عَنْ صِيَامَيْنِ، وَبَيْعَتَيْنِ الْفِطْرِ، وَالنَّحْرِ،، وَالْمُلاَمَسَةِ، وَالْمُنَابَذَةِ،‏.‏
