حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ مَوْلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ الْعِيدَ مَعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَصَلَّى قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْطُبَ بِلَا أَذَانٍ وَلَا إِقَامَةٍ ثُمَّ خَطَبَ فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ صِيَامِ هَذَيْنِ الْيَوْمَيْنِ أَمَّا أَحَدُهُمَا فَيَوْمُ فِطْرِكُمْ مِنْ صِيَامِكُمْ وَعِيدُكُمْ وَأَمَّا الْآخَرُ فَيَوْمٌ تَأْكُلُونَ فِيهِ مِنْ نُسُكِكُمْ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 224
It was narrated from Abu 'Ubaid the freed slave of 'Abdur- Rahman bin 'Awf that he was present on Eid with 'Umar bin al- Musnad 'Umar bin Al-Khattab (RA) Khattab (RA). He ['Umar] prayed before delivering the khutbah, with no adhan or iqamalt. Then he gave the khutbah and said: O people, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) forbade fasting on these two days (i.e., the two Bids). On the first of them you break your fast and celebrate your festival, and on the second you eat from the meat of your sacrifices.
