3397. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما: When the Prophet ﷺ came to Al-Madīna, he found (the Jews) observing fasting on the day of 'Āshūrā' (i.e., 10th of Muḥarram). They used to say: "This is a great day on which Allāh saved Mūsā (Moses) and drowned the folk of Fir'aun (Pharaoh). Mūsā observed the fast on this day, as a sign of gratitude to Allāh." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I am closer to Mūsā than they." So, he observed the fast (on that day) and ordered (the Muslims) to observe fasting on that day.

3397 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ السَّخْتِيَانِيُّ، عَنِ ابْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، لَمَّا قَدِمَ المَدِينَةَ، وَجَدَهُمْ يَصُومُونَ يَوْمًا، يَعْنِي عَاشُورَاءَ، فَقَالُوا: هَذَا يَوْمٌ عَظِيمٌ، وَهُوَ يَوْمٌ نَجَّى اللَّهُ فِيهِ مُوسَى، وَأَغْرَقَ آلَ فِرْعَوْنَ، فَصَامَ مُوسَى شُكْرًا لِلَّهِ، فَقَالَ «أَنَا أَوْلَى بِمُوسَى مِنْهُمْ» فَصَامَهُ وَأَمَرَ بِصِيَامِهِ
