أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ غُنْدَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ مَوْلَی ابْنِ عَوْفٍ قَالَ شَهِدْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ کَرَّمَ اللَّهُ وَجْهَهُ فِي يَوْمِ عِيدٍ بَدَأَ بِالصَّلَاةِ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ ثُمَّ صَلَّی بِلَا أَذَانٍ وَلَا إِقَامَةٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْهَی أَنْ يُمْسِکَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ نُسُکِهِ شَيْئًا فَوْقَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4439
It was narrated that Abu ‘Ubaid — the freed slave of Ibn ‘Awf — said: “I saw ‘Ali bin Abi Talib — may Allah honor his face —on the day of ‘fd. He started with the prayer before the Khutbah, then he prayed with no Adhan and no Iqamah. Then he said: ‘I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم forbidding anyone from keeping anything of his sacrificial animal for more than three days.”(Sahih).
