Hadith 2096
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ , حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ , حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو , حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ الأَعْرَجِ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ وَهُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَهُوَ مُتَوَسِّدٌ رِدَاءَهُ , فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صِيَامِ عَاشُورَاءَ , فَقَالَ : " اعْدُدْ , فَإِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ يَوْمَ التَّاسِعِ مِنْ مُحَرَّمٍ فَأَصْبِحْ صَائِمًا " . قَالَ : قُلْتُ : أَكَذَاكَ كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصُومُ ؟ قَالَ : " كَذَاكَ كَانَ يَصُومُ "
Hakam bin A'raj narrates that I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) while he was sitting in the Sacred Mosque, reclining on his cloak. I asked him about the fasting of Ashura. He said: "Keep counting, and when you reach the morning of the ninth of Muharram, then fast." He says: I asked, "Did Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to fast like this?" He replied, "He used to fast like this."
