Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The days of Tashreeq are days of eating, drinking, and remembering Allah." (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:): The statement of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) that "they are days of eating" is a literal notification. By this is meant the prohibition of fasting during the days of Tashreeq, so the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade fasting on these days by using the words that eating is permissible, and said that "they are days of eating." And as for the statement of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) that "they are days of remembering Allah," by this he intended recommendation and guidance.
