Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ قَالَ
أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي يَزِيدَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ مَا عَلِمْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانَ يَتَحَرَّى يَوْمًا كَانَ يَبْتَغِي فَضْلَهُ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ إِلَّا هَذَا الْيَوْمَ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ أَوْ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ

Muhammad ibn Bakr narrated to us, he said: Ibn Jurayj informed us, he said: 'Ubaydullah ibn Abi Yazid informed me that he heard Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) saying: 'I do not know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sought out any particular day to fast, preferring it over others, except this day — meaning the day of 'Ashura' — and this month — meaning the month of Ramadan.'
