Musnad Ahmad 821 (Book 5, Hadith 251) #34477
Eating and Drinking During Hajj

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advising people not to fast during the days of Hajj as it is a time for eating and drinking.

It was narrated from 'Amr bin Sulaim az-Zuraqi that his mother said: We were in Mina and we heard someone shouting that the Messenger of Allah was saying: 'Do not fast, for these are days of eating and drinking". She said: I lifted the edge of the tent and saw that the one who was shouting was 'Ali bin Abi Talib.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُفَضَّلُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ الزُّرَقِيِّ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، قَالَتْ كُنَّا بِمِنًى فَإِذَا صَائِحٌ يَصِيحُ أَلَا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ لَا تَصُومُنَّ فَإِنَّهَا أَيَّامُ أَكْلٍ وَشُرْبٍ قَالَتْ فَرَفَعْتُ أَطْنَابَ الْفُسْطَاطِ فَإِذَا الصَّائِحُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ‏.‏
