Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #26700

Al-Hasan bin Al-Sabah Al-Bazzar Al-Baghdadi narrated to us, Abd Al-Samad bin Abd Al-Warith narrated to us, on the authority of Thawab bin Utbah, on the authority of Abdullah bin Buraidah, on the authority of his father, said: The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, would not go out on the Day of Eid al-Fitr until he had eaten food, and he would not go out on the Day of Eid al-Adha until he had prayed. He said, and on the authority of Ali and Anas. Abu Issa said: The hadith of Buraydah bin Husayb al-Aslami is a strange hadith. And Muhammad said, I do not know. Thawab bin Utbah has a different hadith than this hadith. Some of the people of knowledge recommended that he not go out on the day of Eid al-Fitr until he had eaten something. It is recommended for him to break his fast with dates and not eat food on the Day of Eid al-Adha until he returns.
