حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ غَلاَبٍ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ أَخْبَرَنِي حَاجِبُ بْنُ عُمَرَ جَمِيعًا الْمَعْنَى عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ الأَعْرَجِ قَالَ
أَتَيْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ وَهُوَ مُتَوَسِّدٌ رِدَاءَهُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صَوْمِ يَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ فَقَالَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ هِلاَلَ الْمُحَرَّمِ فَاعْدُدْ فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ التَّاسِعِ فَأَصْبِحْ صَائِمًا فَقُلْتُ كَذَا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ يَصُومُ فَقَالَ كَذَلِكَ كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ يَصُومُ

I came to Ibn 'Abbas who was leaning against his sheet of cloth in the Sacred Mosque (al-Masjid al-Haram). I asked him about fasting on the day of 'Ashurah. He said: When you sight the moon of al-Muharram, count (the days). When the 9th of Muharram comes, fast from the morning. I said: Would Muhammad ﷺ observe this fast ? He replied: Thus Muhammad ﷺ used to fast.
