the messenger of allah (peace be upon him) said:

((the day of 'arafah and the day of nahr and the days of tashreeq are the (days of) 'eed for the muslims, and they are the days for eating and drinking)),

[saheeh, transmitted by abu daawood]

2) singling the day of jumu'ah (friday) out for fasting.

the messenger of allah (peace be upon him) said:

[the authenticity of this narration has been agreed upon by al-bukhaaree and muslim]

3) singling the day of saturday out for fasting.

the messenger of allah (peace be upon him) said:
