حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ السَّخْتِيَانِيُّ، عَنِ ابْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَجَدَهُمْ يَصُومُونَ يَوْمًا، يَعْنِي عَاشُورَاءَ، فَقَالُوا هَذَا يَوْمٌ عَظِيمٌ، وَهْوَ يَوْمٌ نَجَّى اللَّهُ فِيهِ مُوسَى، وَأَغْرَقَ آلَ فِرْعَوْنَ، فَصَامَ مُوسَى شُكْرًا لِلَّهِ. فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَنَا أَوْلَى بِمُوسَى مِنْهُمْ ‏"‏. فَصَامَهُ وَأَمَرَ بِصِيَامِهِ.

Narrator: Ibn `Abbas

English translation
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: When the Prophet (ﷺ) came to Medina, he found (the Jews) fasting on the day of 'Ashura' (i.e. 10th of Muharram). They used to say: "This is a great day on which Allah saved Moses and drowned the folk of Pharaoh. Moses observed the fast on this day, as a sign of gratitude to Allah." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I am closer to Moses than they." So, he observed the fast (on that day) and ordered the Muslims to fast on it
বাংলা অনুবাদ
ইবনু ‘আব্বাস (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম যখন মদিনা্য় আগমন করেন, তখন তিনি মদিনাবাসীকে এমনভাবে পেলেন যে, তারা একদিন সওম পালন করে অর্থাৎ সে দিনটি হল ‘আশুরার দিন। তারা বলল, এটি একটি মহান দিবস। এ এমন দিন যে দিনে আল্লাহ্ মূসা (আঃ)-কে নাজাত দিয়েছেন এবং ফির‘আউনের সম্প্রদায়কে ডুবিয়ে দিয়েছেন। অতঃপর মূসা (আঃ) শুকরিয়া হিসেবে এদিন সওম পালন করেছেন। তখন নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেন, তাদের তুলনায় আমি হলাম মূসা (আঃ)-এর অধিক নিকটবর্তী। কাজেই তিনি নিজেও এদিন সওম পালন করেছেন এবং এদিন সওম পালনের নির্দেশ দিয়েছেন। (২০০৪) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৩১৪৬, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
