749. Abū Qatādah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Fast the Day of 'Arafah, for indeed I anticipate that Allāh will forgive (the sins) of the year after it, and the year before it." (Ḍa'if) (He said:) There are narrations on this topic from Abū Sa'eed. Abū 'Eisā said: The Ḥadīth of Abū Qatādah is a Ḥasan Ḥadīth. The people of knowledge consider fasting recommended on the Day of 'Arafah, except while (the pilgrim) is at 'Arafāt.
٧٤٩ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ الضَّبِّيُّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ غَيْلَانَ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ الزِّمَّانِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «صِيَامُ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ إِنِّي أَحْتَسِبُ عَلَى اللهِ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ السَّنَةَ الَّتِي قَبْلَهُ وَالسَّنَةَ الَّتِي بَعْدَهُ». وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ. حَدِيثُ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ. وَقْدِ اسْتَحَبَّ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ صِيَامَ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ إِلَّا بِعَرَفَةَ.

It is proven from this Ḥadīth that fasting on the Day of 'Arafah (9th of Dhul-Hijjah) purifies a person from the mistakes and evil deeds of a year preceding and a year following it.
