- Iyaas bin Abee Ramlah Ash-Shaamee said: “I heard a man ask Zayd bin Arqaam - رضى الله تعالى عنه - ‘Were you with the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ when two ‘Eeds fell on the same day (‘Eed & Jumu’ah)?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ (The man) said: ‘So what did he do?’ (Zayd) said: ‘He prayed the ‘Eed prayer, then he granted a concession regarding praying the Jumu’ah prayer, then he said: “Whoever wishes to pray (the Jumu’ah prayer), then let him pray (it).” 1
- Ibn 'Umar رضى الله تعالى عنهما said: "Two ‘Eeds came together at the time of the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ, so he led the people in (the 'Eed) prayer, then he said: “Whoever wishes to come to the Jumu'ah (prayer), then let him come, & whoever wishes to stay behind, then let him stay behind.’” 2
- ‘Alee bin Abee Taalib رضى الله تعالى عنه said when two ‘Eeds (‘Eed & Jumu’ah) coincided on the same day: “Whoever wants to pray them both, then let him pray (them), & whoever wants to sit, then let him sit.” Sufyaan (Ath-Thawree) said: “Meaning, he sits in his house (& does not go out to pray Jumu’ah).” 3
