English Translation
Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that when the Prophet ﷺ came to Medina, he found the Jews observing fast on the day of 'Ashurah; so they were asked about it (by the Prophet ﷺ). They said: This is a day on which Allah gave Moses domination over Pharaoh. We fast on it out of reverence to him. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: We have a closer connection with Moses than you have. He then gave orders that it should be observed
