Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ مَا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَتَحَرَّى صِيَامَ يَوْمٍ فَضَّلَهُ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ، إِلاَّ هَذَا الْيَوْمَ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ وَهَذَا الشَّهْرَ‏.‏ يَعْنِي شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ‏.‏

Translation

ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Mūsā related to us, from Ibn ʿUyaynah, from ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Abī Yazīd, from Ibn ʿAbbās (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: I never saw the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) seek to fast on a day, giving it preference over others, except this day—the Day of ʿĀshūrāʾ—and this month, meaning Ramaḍān.
