[14] Also see the following Hadith, وَ فِي الْعِلَلِ الَّتِي تُرْوَى عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ النَّيْسَابُورِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَ يُذْكَرُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهَا مِنَ الرِّضَا ع أَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ يَوْمُ الْفِطْرِ الْعِيدَ لِيَكُونَ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ مُجْتَمَعاً يَجْتَمِعُونَ فِيهِ وَ يَبْرُزُونَ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَيُمَجِّدُونَهُ عَلَى مَا مَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ And regarding the reason which is reported from Al-Fazl Bin Shazaan Al-Neyshapouri, may Allah -azwj be Pleased with him, and he mentioned that he heard it from Al-Reza -asws : ‘Rather, the day of Al-Fitr has been made to be the Eid for it, to become a gathering for Muslims in which they would be assembling, and they would be emphasising for the Sake of Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic, so they would be Glorifying Him -azwj upon what He -azwj had Favoured upon them.
فَيَكُونُ يَوْمَ عِيدٍ وَ يَوْمَ اجْتِمَاعٍ وَ يَوْمَ فِطْرٍ وَ يَوْمَ زَكَاةٍ وَ يَوْمَ رَغْبَةٍ وَ يَوْمَ تَضَرُّعٍ وَ لِأَنَّهُ أَوَّلُ يَوْمٍ مِنَ السَّنَةِ يَحِلُّ فِيهِ الْأَكْلُ وَ الشُّرْبُ لِأَنَّ أَوَّلَ شُهُورِ السَّنَةِ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْحَقِّ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ فَأَحَبَّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ مَجْمَعٌ يَحْمَدُونَهُ فِيهِ وَ يُقَدِّسُونَهُ Thus, it would happen to be a day of Eid, and a day of gathering, and a day of Fitr, and a day of Zakat, and a day of wishes, and a day of supplications, and because it is the first day of the (Islamic) year and one is allowed to eat and drink, because the first month of the (Islamic) year in the presence of the people of the Truth is the Month of Ramazaan.
Therefore Allah -azwj the Mighty and Majestic Loved (Ordained) it that it would happen, during that day, a gathering where they would be Praising Him -azwj in, and Extolling His -azwj Holiness.
