حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَإِذَا الْ
يَهُودُ قَدْ صَامُوا يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ فَسَأَلَهُمْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالُوا هَذَا الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي ظَهَرَ فِيهِ مُوسَى عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ أَنْتُمْ أَوْلَى بِمُوسَى مِنْهُمْ فَصُومُوهُ

English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) — via Sa'id ibn Jubayr — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Madinah and found the Jews fasting on the day of 'Ashura'. He asked them about it and they said: 'This is the day on which Musa prevailed over Pharaoh.' the Prophet ﷺ said to his Companions: 'You have more right to Musa than they do — so fast it.'
