“Fasting on the Day of ‘Arafah, I hope from Allah, expiates for the sins of the year before and the year after.”  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صِيَامُ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ إِنِّي أَحْتَسِبُ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ السَّنَةَ الَّتِي قَبْلَهُ وَالَّتِي بَعْدَهُ  

“I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘Whoever fasts the Day of ‘Arafah, his sins of the previous and following year will be forgiven.’”  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ صَامَ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ غُفِرَ لَهُ سَنَةٌ أَمَامَهُ وَسَنَةٌ بَعْدَهُ  

“I entered upon Abu Hurairah in his house and asked him about fasting the Day of ‘Arafah at ‘Arafat. Abu Hurairah said: ‘The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade fasting the Day of ‘Arafah at ‘Arafat.’”  

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صَوْمِ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ بِعَرَفَاتٍ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَوْمِ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ بِعَرَفَاتٍ
