Mishkat al-Masabih #1957
Fasting
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
" لَا صَوْم فِي يَوْمَيْنِ: الْفطر وَالضُّحَى "
He reported God’s messenger as saying, “No fast is to be observed on two days, al-Fitr and al-Adha.*
*In this tradition I have used the Arabic words, but have translated them in the preceding tradition. In the preceding tradition an-nahr is used where al-Adha is used here. Al-Adha means literally the victims.
(Bukhari and Muslim.)
