2446. It was reported from Al-Ḥakam bin Al-A'raj, who said: "I came to Ibn 'Abbās while he was reclining with his head on his Ridā' in Al-Masjid Al-Ḥarām. I asked him about fasting on the day of Āshūrā. He said: 'When you see the crescent of Muḥarram, then count (the days), when it is the ninth day, then arise fasting in the morning.' I said: 'Is that how Muḥammad ﷺ fasted?' He said: "That is how Muḥammad ﷺ fasted." (Sahih)
