English Translation

It was narrated that Abu ‘Ubaid, the freed slave of ‘AbdurRahman bin Azhar, said: I saw `Ali (رضي الله عنه) and ‘Uthman (رضي الله عنه) praying on the day of al-Fitr and the day of al-Adha, then they reminded the people. And I heard them say: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade fasting on these two days. And I heard ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) say: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade anything of the sacrificial meat to be left after three days.
