أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُعَلَّى بْنُ أَسَدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : سُئِلَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ عَنْ صَوْمِ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ ، فَقَالَ :" حَجَجْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمْ يَصُمْهُ، وَحَجَجْتُ مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَلَمْ يَصُمْهُ، وَحَجَجْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ، فَلَمْ يَصُمْهُ، وَحَجَجْتُ مَعَ عُثْمَانَ، فَلَمْ يَصُمْهُ، وَأَنَا لَا أَصُومُهُ، وَلَا آمُرُ بِهِ، وَلَا أَنْهَى عَنْهُ "

Al-Mu'alla bin Asad told us, Ismail bin Aliya told us, Ibn Abi Najih told us, on the authority of his father, he said: Ibn Umar was asked about Fasting on the Day of Arafat, and he said: “I performed Hajj with the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, but he did not fast it. I performed Hajj with Abu Bakr and he did not fast it, and I performed Hajj with Omar, but he did not fast it, and I performed Hajj with Uthman, but he did not fast it, and I do not fast it, nor do I order it, nor forbid it.”
