باب في صِيَامِ الْمُحَرَّمِ:Chapter: Fasting in Muharram
Hadith 1794
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ إِسْحَاق، عَنْ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ شَهْرٍ بَعْدَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ يَصُومُهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ: مَا سَأَلَنِي أَحَدٌ عَنْ هَذَا بَعْدَ إِذْ سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَيُّ شَهْرٍ يَصُومُهُ مِنْ السَّنَةِ بَعْدَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ . فَأَمَرَهُ بِصِيَامِ الْمُحَرَّمِ، وَقَالَ: "إِنَّ فِيهِ يَوْمًا تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَى قَوْمٍ وَيَتُوبُ فِيهِ عَلَى قَوْمٍ".
Nu’man bin Sa’d said: A man came to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked which month after Ramadan he should fast in. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: Since I heard this from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), no one has asked me about it until now. A man asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in which month of the year after Ramadan he should fast, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed him to fast in Muharram, and said: “On this day Allah Almighty showed mercy to a people, and in the future He will show mercy to another people.” (The first people referred to are the Children of Israel, and the second people are certainly the Ummah of Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him.)
