I was with Ibn `Umar when a man asked him, "I have vowed to fast every Tuesday or Wednesday
throughout my life and if the day of my fasting coincided with the day of Nahr (the first day of `Id-al-
Adha), (What shall I do?)" Ibn `Umar said, "Allah has ordered the vows to be fulfilled, and we are
forbidden to fast on the day of Nahr." The man repeated his question and Ibn `Umar repeated his
former answer, adding nothing more.

that he was asked about a man who had vowed that he would fast all the days of his life then the day
of `Id al Adha or `Id-al-Fitr came. `Abdullah bin `Umar said: You have indeed a good example in
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). He did not fast on the day of `Id al Adha or the day of `Id-al-Fitr, and we do not
intend fasting on these two days.

We went out in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on the day of (the battle of) Khaibar, and we did not
get any gold or silver as war booty, but we got property in the form of things and clothes. Then a man
called Rifa`a bin Zaid, from the tribe of Bani Ad-Dubaib, presented a slave named Mid`am to Allah's
Apostle. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) headed towards the valley of Al-Qura, and when he was in the valley of Al-
Qura an arrow was thrown by an unidentified person, struck and killed Mid`am who was making a
she-camel of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) kneel down. The people said, "Congratulations to him (the slave) for
gaining Paradise." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "No! By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, for the sheet which
he stole from the war booty before its distribution on the day of Khaibar, is now burning over him."
When the people heard that, a man brought one or two Shiraks (leather straps of shoes) to the Prophet.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A Shirak of fire, or two Shiraks of fire."
