ذِكْرُ الِاسْتِحْبَابِ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يَصُومَ يَوْمًا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ لِيَكُونَ آخِذًا بِالْوَثِيقَةِ فِي صَوْمِهِ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ
[Machine] "I approached Ibn Abbas while he was sitting beside his robe near Zamzam, and I sat beside him. What a wonderful companion he was! I asked him about Ashura. He sat upright and asked me, "Which aspect of it do you want to know?" I said, "I want to know about its fasting, which day do we fast?" He replied, "When you see the crescent moon of Muharram, then count and start fasting from the ninth day." I asked, "Did Muhammad ﷺ also fast in this manner?" He answered, "Yes.""
