عَنْ عَطَاءِ نِ الْخُرَاسَانِيِّ أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ دَخَلَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ وَهِيَ صَائِمَةٌ وَالْمَاءُ يُرَشُّ عَلَيْهَا، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ: أَفْطِرِي، فَقَالَتْ: أُفْطِرُ وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((إِنَّ صَوْمَ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ يُكَفِّرُ الْعَامَ الَّذِي قَبْلَهُ))
. Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakr went to Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with them both) on the day of Arafah while she was fasting, and (due to the intensity of the heat) water was being poured over her. Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him) said to her: "You should break your fast," but she replied: "How can I break my fast, when I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'The fast of Arafah is an expiation for the sins of the previous year.'"
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … By the Day of Arafah is meant the 9th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the day on which the honored pilgrims gather in the plain of Arafah. Fasting on this day becomes an expiation for the sins of the previous and the coming two years.
