English translation

[2658] 128 - (...) It was narratedfrom Ibn 'Abbâs [may Allâh bepleased with them] that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came to Al-Madīnah and found the Jews fasting on the day of 'Āshūrâ'. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to them: "What is this day that you are fasting?" They said: "This is a great day, on which Allāh saved Mūsâ and his people, and drowned Fir'awn (Pharaoh) and his people. Mūsâ fasted on this day out of gratitude and we fast it too." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "We are more entitled to be closer to Mūsâ than you," and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ fasted (on this day) and enjoined fasting on it.

Arabic text

128 - (1130) وحَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَوَجَدَ الْيَهُودَ صِيَامًا، يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا هَذَا الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي تَصُومُونَهُ؟» فَقَالُوا: هَذَا يَوْمٌ عَظِيمٌ، أَنْجَى اللهُ فِيهِ مُوسَى وَقَوْمَهُ، وَغَرَّقَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَقَوْمَهُ، فَصَامَهُ مُوسَى شُكْرًا، فَنَحْنُ نَصُومُهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَنَحْنُ أَحَقُّ وَأَوْلَى بِمُوسَى مِنْكُمْ فَصَامَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَمَرَ بِصِيَامِهِ»
