Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا الْمَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَجُلاً مِنْ أَسْلَمَ أَنْ أَذِّنْ فِي النَّاسِ ‏"‏ أَنَّ مَنْ كَانَ أَكَلَ فَلْيَصُمْ بَقِيَّةَ يَوْمِهِ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَكَلَ فَلْيَصُمْ، فَإِنَّ الْيَوْمَ يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Al-Makkī ibn Ibrāhīm related to us: Yazīd related to us, from Salamah ibn al-Akwaʿ (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) instructed a man from the tribe of Aslam to announce to the people: ‘Whoever has eaten, let him fast for the remainder of the day; and whoever has not eaten, let him fast—for today is the Day of ʿĀshūrāʾ.’

Translation notes
  • The Arabic specifically commands both those who have eaten and those who have not to fast that day; the former are to fast for the remainder of the day.
