حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَنْبَأَنَا عَطَاءٌ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ إِنْ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَنْ لَا يَغْدُوَ أَحَدُكُمْ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ حَتَّى يَطْعَمَ فَلْيَفْعَلْ قَالَ فَلَمْ أَدَعْ أَنْ آكُلَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَغْدُوَ مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَآكُلَ مِنْ طَرَفِ الصَّرِيقَةِ الْأَكْلَةَ أَوْ أَشْرَبَ اللَّبَنَ أَوْ الْمَاءَ قُلْتُ فَعَلَامَ يُؤَوَّلُ هَذَا قَالَ سَمِعَهُ أَظُنُّ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ كَانُوا لَا يَخْرُجُونَ حَتَّى يَمْتَدَّ الضَّحَاءُ فَيَقُولُونَ نَطْعَمُ لِئَلَّا نَعْجَلَ عَنْ صَلَاتِنَا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2868
' Ata' narrated that he heard Ibn 'Abbas (RA) say: If one of you could manage not to go out on the day of al-Fitr until he eats some- thing, let him do so. He ['Ata'] said: I never omitted to eat before going out since I heard that from Ibn 'Abbas. I eat a little from the edge of the pastry or drink some milk or water, I [the narrator] said: What was the reason for that? He said: I heard him say, I think he narrated it from the Prophet (PBUH): They did not go out until late morning, so they said: We should eat so that we will not have to hasten in our prayer.
