Hadith 459

Narrated Zaid bin Arqam (RA): The Prophet (SAW) prayed the 'Eid prayer (on a Friday); and granted a permission (to be excused) from the praying of Friday prayer and said, "Whoever wants to pray it, he may pray." [Reported by al-Khamsah excluding at-Tirmidhi. Ibn Khuzaimah graded it Sahih (authentic)].

وَعَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: { صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-اَلْعِيدَ, ثُمَّ رَخَّصَ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ, فَقَالَ: "مَنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ فَلْيُصَلِّ" } رَوَاهُ اَلْخَمْسَةُ إِلَّا اَلتِّرْمِذِيَّ، وَصَحَّحَهُ ابْنُ خُزَيْمَة َ <sup>1</sup>‏ .‏
