Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh

رَوَى عَمَّارُ بْنُ مُوسَى اَلسَّابَاطِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْأَضْحَى بِمِنًى قَالَ «أَرْبَعَةُ أَيَّامٍ» وَ عَنِ اَلْأَضْحَى فِي سَائِرِ اَلْبُلْدَانِ قَالَ «ثَلاَثَةُ أَيَّامٍ» وَ قَالَ «لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلاً قَدِمَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ بَعْدَ اَلْأَضْحَى بِيَوْمَيْنِ ضَحَّى اَلْيَوْمَ اَلثَّالِثَ اَلَّذِي يَقْدَمُ فِيهِ ».

In a narration from Ammar ibn Musa al-Sabati: "I asked Abu Abdullah (a.s) about the days of sacrifice (Adha) in Mina. Imam (a.s) replied: 'Four days.' I then asked him about the days of sacrifice in other towns. Imam (a.s) said: 'Three days.' Imam (a.s) further stated: 'If a man returns to his family two days after the Adha, he may offer the sacrifice on the third day upon his return.'"

وَ رَوَى كُلَيْبٌ اَلْأَسَدِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلنَّحْرِ فَقَالَ «أَمَّا بِمِنًى فَثَلاَثَةُ أَيَّامٍ وَ أَمَّا فِي اَلْبُلْدَانِ فَيَوْمٌ وَاحِدٌ ».

In a narration from Kulayb al-Asadi: "I asked Abu Abdullah (a.s) about the sacrifice (nahr). Imam (a.s) said: 'As for Mina, it is for three days. As for other towns, it is only one day.'"

قال مصنف هذا الكتاب - رحمه الله -: هذان الحديثان متفقان غير مختلفين وذلك أن خبر عمار هو الضحية وحدها وخبر كليب للصوم وحده، وتصديق ذلك:

The author of this book, may Allah (swt) have mercy on him, commented: These two narrations are consistent and not contradictory. The narration from Ammar pertains exclusively to the act of sacrifice (dahiyya), while the narration from Kulayb refers specifically to fasting. This interpretation is supported by additional evidence and context provided elsewhere.

مَا رَوَاهُ سَيْفُ بْنُ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: «اَلنَّحْرُ بِمِنًى ثَلاَثَةُ أَيَّامٍ فَمَنْ أَرَادَ اَلصَّوْمَ لَمْ يَصُمْ حَتَّى تَمْضِيَ اَلثَّلاَثَةُ اَلْأَيَّامِ وَ اَلنَّحْرُ بِالْأَمْصَارِ يَوْمٌ فَمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَصُومَ صَامَ مِنَ اَلْغَدِ ».

Narrated by Saif ibn Amira from Mansur ibn Hazim, from Abu Abdullah (a.s), who said: "I heard him say: 'The sacrifice (nahr) in Mina is for three days. Whoever wishes to fast must not fast until the three days have passed. The sacrifice in other towns is only one day, so whoever wishes to fast may begin from the next day.'"

وَ رُوِي: «أَنَّ اَلْأَضْحَى ثَلاَثَةُ أَيَّامٍ وَ أَفْضَلُهَا أَوَّلُهَا ».

It is narrated: "The Eid al-Adha (sacrifice) lasts for three days, and the first day is the most virtuous."
