English translation

3943. Narrated Ibn ‘Abbās رضي الله عنهما. When the Prophet ﷺ arrived at Al-Madina he found that the Jews observed fast on the day of ‘Āshūrā. They were asked the reason for the fast. They replied, "This is the day when Allāh gave Mūsā (Moses) and the children of Isrāēl a victory over Fir’aun (Pharoah), so we observe fast on this day as a sign of gratitude to Allāh." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "We are closer to Mūsā than you." Then he ordered that fasting on this day should be observed.

3943 - حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: لَمَّا قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ المَدِينَةَ وَجَدَ اليَهُودَ يَصُومُونَ عَاشُورَاءَ، فَسُئِلُوا عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالُوا: هَذَا اليَوْمُ الَّذِي أَظْفَرَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ مُوسَى، وَبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ، وَنَحْنُ نَصُومُهُ تَعْظِيمًا لَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «نَحْنُ أَوْلَى بِمُوسَى مِنْكُمْ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِصَوْمِهِ»
