حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَاجِبُ بْنُ عُمَرَ أَبُو خُشَيْنَةَ أَخُو عِيسَى النَّحْوِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ الْأَعْرَجِ قَالَ جَلَسْتُ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَهُوَ مُتَوَسِّدٌ رِدَاءَهُ عِنْدَ بِئْرِ زَمْزَمَ فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَكَانَ نِعْمَ الْجَلِيسُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ عَاشُورَاءَ فَقَالَ عَنْ أَيِّ
بَالِهِ تَسْأَلُ قُلْتُ عَنْ صِيَامِهِ قَالَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ هِلَالَ الْمُحَرَّمِ فَاعْدُدْ فَإِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ مِنْ تَاسِعِهِ فَصُمْ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ قُلْتُ أَهَكَذَا كَانَ يَصُومُهُ مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ نَعَمْ

'Affan narrated to us, Hajib ibn 'Umar Abu Khushaynah, the brother of 'Isa al-Nahwi, narrated to us, he said al-Hakam ibn al-A'raj narrated to us, he said: I sat with Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) while he was reclining on his cloak at the well of Zamzam. I said to him: 'Tell me about the day of 'Ashura', which day is it that I should fast?' He said: 'When you see the crescent of Muharram, count the days, then fast on the morning of the ninth.' I said: 'Is this how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast it?' He said: 'Yes.'
