Sahih Muslim 1139 (Book 13, Hadith 181) #9820
Fulfilling Vows and Not Fasting on Adha and Fitr

SUMMARY: A person asked Ibn 'Umar about fasting on the day of Adha or Fitr, to which Ibn 'Umar replied that Allah has commanded fulfilling of the vow but the Prophet has forbidden fasting on those days.

Ziyad b. Jubair reported that a person came to Ibn 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) and said: I had taken a vow that I would fast on the day (but it accidentally) synchronizes with the day of Adha or the day of Fitr. Thereupon Ibn 'Umar (Allah be pleased with him) said: Allah, the Exalted, has commanded fulfilling of the vow, but the Messenger of Allah has forbidden the observance of fast on this day.
وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ - رضى الله عنهما - فَقَالَ إِنِّي نَذَرْتُ أَنْ أَصُومَ يَوْمًا فَوَافَقَ يَوْمَ أَضْحَى أَوْ فِطْرٍ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ رضى الله عنهما أَمَرَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِوَفَاءِ النَّذْرِ وَنَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَنْ صَوْمِ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about fulfilling vows and not fasting on the days of Eid Al-Adha and Eid Al-Fitr. A person came to Ibn 'Umar asking if it was permissible to fast on these two days, as he had taken a vow to do so. Ibn 'Umar replied that Allah has commanded us to fulfill our vows, but the Prophet Muhammad forbade us from fasting on these two days. This teaches us that we should always strive to fulfill our promises, even if it means going against what we would normally do in certain situations. However, at the same time we must also be mindful of what Allah's Messenger taught us and follow his teachings even when they may contradict our own desires or plans.
