Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَقَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَلَهُمْ يَوْمَانِ يَلْعَبُونَ فِيهِمَا فَقَالَ مَا هَذَانِ الْيَوْمَانِ قَالُوا كُنَّا نَلْعَبُ فِيهِمَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَبْدَلَكُمْ بِهِمَا خَيْرًا مِنْهُمَا يَوْمَ الْأَضْحَى وَيَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ
English Translation
Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Musa bin Isma'il] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hammad] dari [Humaid] dari [Anas] dia berkata; "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam tiba di Madinah, sedangkan penduduknya memiliki dua hari khusus untuk permainan, maka beliau bersabda: "Apakah maksud dari dua hari ini?" mereka menjawab; "Kami biasa mengadakan permainan pada dua hari tersebut semasa masih Jahiliyah." Maka Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda; "Sesungguhnya Allah telah menggantikan untuk kalian yang lebih baik dari kedua hari tersebut, yaitu hari (raya) kurban (iedul Aldha) dan hari raya Iedul fithri."
