2813 — Musaddad narrated to us, Yazīd ibn Zurayʿ narrated to us, Khālid al-Ḥadhdhāʾ narrated to us, from Abū al-Malīḥ, from Nubayshah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, we had forbidden you from their meat that you eat it beyond three days, so that it might suffice you. But Allah has brought abundance, so eat, store up, and seek reward. Verily, these days are days of eating, drinking, and remembrance of Allah, Mighty and Majestic."

============================================
And from this it is said: "So-and-so is beautiful of face," meaning by that handsomeness and freshness, as if he were oiled and polished.

It was said in "al-Nihāyah": "Al-Wadak": the fat of meat and its grease that is extracted from it.

(1) Its chain of transmission is sound. Abū al-Malīḥ: he is Ibn Usāmah ibn ʿUmayr al-Hudhalī, and Khālid al-Ḥadhdhāʾ: he is Ibn Mihrān, and Musaddad: he is Ibn Musarhad.
It was also recorded by Ibn Mājah (3160) and al-Nasāʾī (4230) via the route of Khālid al-Ḥadhdhāʾ, from him. The narration of Ibn Mājah is abridged, and according to al-Nasāʾī, Khālid al-Ḥadhdhāʾ said: from Abū Qilābah, from Abū al-Malīḥ, and I think I heard it from Abū al-Malīḥ. Thus he heard it through both routes.
It is in "Musnad Aḥmad" (20723).
The final portion of the hadith — that these days are days of eating, drinking, and remembrance of Allah, Mighty and Majestic — was recorded by Muslim (1141) via the route of Khālid al-Ḥadhdhāʾ, from Abū al-Malīḥ, and (1141) via the route of Khālid, from Abū Qilābah, from Abū al-Malīḥ.
It is in "Musnad Aḥmad" (20722).
Al-Khaṭṭābī said: Regarding his saying "wa-ttajirū" (seek reward): its origin is "ītajirū" on the pattern of "iftāʿilū," meaning the charity by which one seeks its wage and reward, then it was said "ittajirū," just as one says "ittakhadhtu al-shayʾ" (I took the thing), whose origin is "ītakhadhtuhu."
It is derived from "taking," and it is from "reward" (ajr). It is not from the domain of commerce, because selling sacrificial animals is invalid. They are only eaten and given in charity.
His saying "these days are days of eating and drinking" contains evidence that fasting the days of al-Tashrīq is not permissible.
Because he marked them with eating and drinking, just as he marked the day of al-Fiṭr with breaking the fast, and then fasting it was not permitted. Likewise are the days of al-Tashrīq, whether that be voluntary fasting, or by vow, or the pilgrim fasting them for tamattuʿ.
