Prohibitions on Fasting and Sacrificial Meat During Eid

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) forbidding fasting on Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, and also forbidding any of the sacrificial meat to be left after three days.

It was narrated that Abu 'Ubaid, the freed slave of 'AbdurRahman bin Azhar, said: l saw 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) and 'Uthman (رضي الله عنه) on the day of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha; they prayed, then when they finished they reminded the people. I heard them saying: The Messenger of Allah forbade fasting on these two days. He said: And I heard 'Ali say: The Messenger of Allah forbade anything of the sacrificial meat to be left after three days.
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قَارِظٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، مَوْلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَزْهَرَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا وَعُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا يُصَلِّيَانِ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ وَالْأَضْحَى ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفَانِ يُذَكِّرَانِ النَّاسَ قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُهُمَا يَقُولَانِ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَهَى عَنْ صِيَامِ هَذَيْنِ الْيَوْمَيْنِ‏.‏ قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا، يَقُولُ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَبْقَى مِنْ نُسُكِكُمْ عِنْدَكُمْ شَيْءٌ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثٍ‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Celebrate religious holidays joyfully according to Islamic teachings; avoid food wastage; follow Prophet Muhammad's PBUH instructions regarding fasting during Eids.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about two important Islamic festivals - Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. On these days, it is forbidden to fast as this goes against the spirit of celebration that these festivals bring with them. Additionally, it is also forbidden to leave any of the sacrificial meat after three days as this would go against Islamic teachings regarding food wastage. These prohibitions are important for Muslims to remember in order to celebrate these festivals in a manner that is pleasing to Allah SWT.
