حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : مَا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَحَرَّى صِيَامَ يَوْمٍ فَضَّلَهُ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ ، إِلَّا هَذَا الْيَوْمَ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ ، وَهَذَا الشَّهْرَ يَعْنِي شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ .
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: I never saw the Prophet seeking to fast on a day more (preferable to him) than this day, the day of 'Ashura', or this month, i.e. the month of Ramadan.
Narrated Salama bin Al-Akwa`: The Prophet ordered a man from the tribe of Bani Aslam to announce amongst the people that whoever had eaten should fast the rest of the day, and whoever had not eaten should continue his fast, as that day was the day..
