أَخْبَرَنِي زَکَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ الْحُرِّ بْنِ صَيَّاحٍ عَنْ هُنَيْدَةَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ امْرَأَتِهِ قَالَتْ حَدَّثَتْنِي بَعْضُ نِسَائِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کَانَ يَصُومُ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَائَ وَتِسْعًا مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ وَثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ الشَّهْرِ أَوَّلَ اثْنَيْنِ مِنْ الشَّهْرِ وَخَمِيسَيْنِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2378
It was narrated from ‘Ubaidullah that he heard Ibn ‘Abbas, when he was asked about the fast of ‘Ashura’, say: “I do not know that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم fasted any day because of its virtue, except this day” — meaning the month of Ramadhan and the day of ‘Ashura’.(Sahlh)
