Sahih al-Bukhari 6706 (Book 83, Hadith 83) #6450
Fulfilling Vows and Not Fasting on the Day of Nahr

SUMMARY: Allah has ordered us to fulfill our vows, and we are forbidden to fast on the day of Nahr.

Narrated Ziyad bin Jubair: I was with Ibn 'Umar when a man asked him, "I have vowed to fast every Tuesday or Wednesday throughout my life and if the day of my fasting coincided with the day of Nahr (the first day of 'Id-al- Adha), (What shall I do?)" Ibn 'Umar said, "Allah has ordered the vows to be fulfilled, and we are forbidden to fast on the day of Nahr". The man repeated his question and Ibn 'Umar repeated his former answer, adding nothing more.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ فَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ نَذَرْتُ أَنْ أَصُومَ كُلَّ يَوْمِ ثَلاَثَاءَ أَوْ أَرْبِعَاءَ مَا عِشْتُ، فَوَافَقْتُ هَذَا الْيَوْمَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِوَفَاءِ النَّذْرِ، وَنُهِينَا أَنْ نَصُومَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ‏.‏ فَأَعَادَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مِثْلَهُ، لاَ يَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِ‏.‏

This hadith is about fulfilling one's vows and not fasting on the day of 'Id al Adha.

Ibn 'Umar replied that Allah has commanded us to fulfill our vows, but we are forbidden from fasting on this particular day. This hadith teaches us that it is important for Muslims to keep their promises and commitments, but also reminds us that there are certain days when it is not permissible for Muslims to fast.
