Home Hadith Hadith 930
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) never proceeded (for the prayer) on the Day of `Id-ul-Fitr unless he had eaten some
dates. Anas also narrated: The Prophet (ﷺ) used to eat odd number of dates.

← Previous Hadith
Abu Bakr came to my house while two small Ansari girls were singing beside me the stories of the
Ansar concerning the Day of Buath. And they were not singers. Abu Bakr said protestingly, "Musical
instruments of Satan in the house of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) !" It happened on the `Id day and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
said, "O Abu Bakr! There is an `Id for every nation and this is our `Id."

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever slaughtered (his sacrifice) before the `Id prayer, should slaughter again."
A man stood up and said, "This is the day on which one has desire for meat," and he mentioned
something about his neighbors. It seemed that the Prophet (ﷺ) I believed him. Then the same man added,
"I have a young she-goat which is dearer to me than the meat of two sheep." The Prophet (ﷺ) permitted
him to slaughter it as a sacrifice. I do not know whether that permission was valid only for him or for
others as well.
