[2664] 132 - (1132) It was narrated that Al-Ḥakam bin Al-Aʿraj said: "I came to Ibn 'Abbās [may Allāh be pleased with them] while he was reclining on his Ridāʾ at Zamzam and said to him: 'Tell me about the fast of ʾAshūrāʾ.' He said: 'When you see the crescent of Muḥarram, then count, and fast on the ninth day.' I said: 'Is this how the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to fast it?' He said: 'Yes.'"

Arabic text

132 - (1133) وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعُ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ، عَنْ حَاجِبِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، قَالَ: انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، وَهُوَ مُتَوَسِّدٌ رِدَاءَهُ فِي زَمْزَمَ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ صَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ، فَقَالَ: «إِذَا رَأَيْتَ هِلَالَ الْمُحَرَّمِ فَاعْدُدْ، وَأَصْبِحْ يَوْمَ التَّاسِعِ صَائِمًا»، قُلْتُ: هَكَذَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصُومُهُ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ»
