Sahih al-Bukhari 3943
حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ لَمَّا قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْمَدِينَةَ وَجَدَ الْيَهُودَ يَصُومُونَ عَاشُورَاءَ، فَسُئِلُوا عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالُوا هَذَا الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي أَظْفَرَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ مُوسَى وَبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ، وَنَحْنُ نَصُومُهُ تَعْظِيمًا لَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " نَحْنُ أَوْلَى بِمُوسَى مِنْكُمْ ". ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِصَوْمِهِ.
Ziyad ibn Ayyub narrated to us: Hushaim narrated to us: Abu Bishr narrated to us, from Saʿid ibn Jubayr, from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: “When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Medina, he found the Jews fasting on Ashura. They were asked about it and said, ‘This is the day on which Allah gave Moses and the Children of Israel victory over Pharaoh, and we fast it in reverence for the day.’ The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘We have a greater right to Moses than you.’ Then he ordered that the fast be observed.”
