English translation

2444. Ibn ‘Abbās said: “When the Prophet ﷺ arrived in Al-Madinah, he found the Jews fasting on Āshūrā. They were asked about that, and they said: ‘It is the day in which Allāh granted victory to Mūsā over Fir‘awn, and we fast it out of reverence for it.’ The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘We are more worthy of Mūsā than you people,’ and he ordered fasting it.” (Sahīh)

Arabic text

2444 - حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَجَدَ الْيَهُودَ يَصُومُونَ عَاشُورَاءَ، فَسُئِلُوا عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالُوا: هَذَا الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي أَظْهَرَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ مُوسَى عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَنَحْنُ نَصُومُهُ تَعْظِيمًا لَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «نَحْنُ أَوْلَى بِمُوسَى مِنْكُمْ»، وَأَمَرَ بِصِيَامِهِ
