1810 - وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «أَوْصَى رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَحْدَهُ وَ أَوْصَى عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِلَى اَلْحَسَنِ وَ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ جَمِيعاً وَ كَانَ اَلْحَسَنُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِمَامَهُ فَدَخَلَ رَجُلٌ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ عَلَى اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ هُوَ يَتَغَدَّى وَ اَلْحُسَيْنُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ صَائِمٌ ثُمَّ جَاءَ بَعْدَ مَا قُبِضَ اَلْحَسَنُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ وَ هُوَ يَتَغَدَّى وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ صَائِمٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ اَلرَّجُلُ إِنِّي دَخَلْتُ عَلَى اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ هُوَ يَتَغَدَّى وَ أَنْتَ صَائِمٌ ثُمَّ دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْكَ وَ أَنْتَ مُفْطِرٌ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ اَلْحَسَنَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ كَانَ إِمَاماً فَأَفْطَرَ لِئَلاَّ يُتَّخَذَ صَوْمُهُ سُنَّةً وَ لِيَتَأَسَّى بِهِ اَلنَّاسُ فَلَمَّا أَنْ قُبِضَ كُنْتُ أَنَا اَلْإِمَامَ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ لاَ يُتَّخَذَ صَوْمِي سُنَّةً فَيَتَأَسَّى اَلنَّاسُ بِي».

Hadith.1810 - It is narrated by Abdullah ibn al-Mughira from Salim, from Abu Abdullah (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as)), who said: "The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) bequeathed solely to Ali (as), and Ali (as) bequeathed jointly to al-Hasan (as) and al-Husayn (as). Al-Hasan (as) was the Imam during his time. A man entered upon al-Hasan (as) on the Day of Arafah and found him having lunch, while al-Husayn (as) was fasting. After al-Hasan (as) passed away, the same man entered upon al-Husayn (as) on the Day of Arafah and found him having lunch, while Ali ibn al-Husayn (as) was fasting. The man said to Imam: 'I came to al-Hasan (as) when he was having lunch, and you were fasting. Then I came to you, and now you are not fasting.' Imam (as) replied: 'Al-Hasan (as) was the Imam, so he broke his fast to ensure his fasting would not be taken as a Sunnah and followed by others. When he passed away, I became the Imam, and I did not want my fasting to be taken as a Sunnah and followed by others.'"

1811 - وَ رَوَى حَنَانُ بْنُ سَدِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صَوْمِ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّهُمْ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ يَعْدِلُ صَوْمَ سَنَةٍ قَالَ «كَانَ أَبِي عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ لاَ يَصُومُهُ» قُلْتُ وَ لِمَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ « يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ يَوْمُ دُعَاءٍ وَ مَسْأَلَةٍ فَأَتَخَوَّفُ أَنْ يُضْعِفَنِي عَنِ اَلدُّعَاءِ وَ أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَصُومَهُ وَ أَتَخَوَّفُ أَنْ يَكُونَ يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ يَوْمَ اَلْأَضْحَى وَ لَيْسَ بِيَوْمِ صَوْمٍ.

Hadith.1811 - It is narrated by Hanan ibn Sudayr from his father, who said: "I asked him about fasting on the Day of Arafah, and I said: 'May I be your ransom, they claim that fasting it equals fasting for a year.' Imam (as) said: 'My father (as) would not fast on that day.' I asked: 'Why? May I be your ransom.' Imam (as) said: 'The Day of Arafah is a day of supplication and asking (from Allah (swt)). I fear that fasting might weaken me from making supplications, and I dislike fasting it as I fear that the Day of Arafah may coincide with the Day of Eid al-Adha, which is not a day of fasting.'"
