Sahih al-Bukhari 1994 (Book 30, Hadith 100) #1913
Fulfilling Vows on Eid Day

SUMMARY: A man asked Ibn 'Umar about a vow to fast on an 'Id day, and Ibn 'Umar replied that Allah orders vows to be fulfilled but the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade fasting on this day.

Narrated Ziyad bin Jubair: A man went to Ibn 'Umar I. and said, "A man vowed to fast one day (the sub-narrator thinks that he said that the day was Monday), and that day happened to be 'Id day". Ibn 'Umar said, "Allah orders vows to be fulfilled and the Prophet forbade the fasting on this day (ie Id).
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ نَذَرَ أَنْ يَصُومَ يَوْمًا، قَالَ أَظُنُّهُ قَالَ الاِثْنَيْنِ، فَوَافَقَ يَوْمَ عِيدٍ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِوَفَاءِ النَّذْرِ، وَنَهَى النَّبِيُّ عَنْ صَوْمِ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is narrated by Ziyad bin Jubair and it talks about fulfilling vows. A man went to Ibn 'Umar and asked him if he should fulfill his vow of fasting on an Eid day. Ibn Umar replied that Allah orders us to fulfill our vows, however the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ prohibited fasting on this day. This hadith teaches us that we must keep our promises even if it is inconvenient or difficult for us, as long as it does not go against any Islamic teachings or laws. We must also remember that we are not allowed to fast during the days of Eid, so we should make sure not to make any such promises in the first place.
