Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 43, Hadith 64

It ws narrated that Abu ‘Ubaid – the freed slave of Ibn ‘Awf – said: “I saw ‘Ali bin Abi Talib – may Allah honor his face on the day of ‘Id. He started with the prayer before the Khutbah, and then he prayed with no Adhan and no Iqamah. Then he said: ‘I heard the Messenger of Allah forbidding anyone form keeping anything of his sacrificial animal for more than three days.” (Sahih )

أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ غُنْدَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَوْفٍ قَالَ شَهِدْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ كَرَّمَ اللَّهُ وَجْهَهُ فِي يَوْمِ عِيدٍ بَدَأَ بِالصَّلاَةِ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِلاَ أَذَانٍ وَلاَ إِقَامَةٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَنْهَى أَنْ يُمْسِكَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ نُسُكِهِ شَيْئًا فَوْقَ ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ ‏.‏

Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 43, Hadith 64

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan an-Nasa’i collection of hadiths. The Sunan an-Nasa’i is a foundational text, compiled by the expert traditionist Ahmad ibn Shu’ayb al-Nasa’i during the 9th century. It is consistently listed as one of the six most vital collections of hadith in Sunni Islamic scholarship. Within its pages are found over 5,700 individual narrations that provide deep insight into the life and rulings of the Prophet Muhammad. The defining characteristic of al-Nasa’i’s work is his application of an exceptionally rigorous and critical methodology for verifying each report. By consciously omitting hadiths he considered weak or fabricated, he produced a volume celebrated for its emphasis on authenticity and its status as a highly reliable source.
