و حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَأَبُو کُرَيْبٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ لَعَلَّهُ قَالَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَئِنْ بَقِيتُ إِلَی قَابِلٍ لَأَصُومَنَّ التَّاسِعَ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي بَکْرٍ قَالَ يَعْنِي يَوْمَ عَاشُورَائَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 2667
Ibn 'Abbas reported that when the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) fasted on the day of 'Ashura and commanded that it should he observed as a fast, they (his Companions) said to him: Messenger of Allah, it is a day which the Jews and Christians hold in high esteem. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: When the next year comes, God willing, we would observe fast on the 9th But the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) died before the advent of the next year.
