Hadith text
Narrated Ibn `Abbas:When the Prophet (ﷺ) arrived at Medina he found that the Jews observed fast on the day of 'Ashura'. They were asked the reason for the fast. They replied, "This is the day when Allah caused Moses and the children of Israel to have victory over Pharaoh, so we fast on this day as a sign of glorifying it." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "We are closer to Moses than you." Then he ordered that fasting on this day should be observed
Ibn Abbas bataate hain: Jab Nabi Madina pahunche, unhone paaya ke Yahudi Ashura ke din roza rakhte the. Unse iski wajah puchi gaee. Unhone jawab diya, "Yeh woh din hai jab Allah ne Musa aur Bani Israel ko Firaun par fatah dilaee, isliye hum is din ko izzat dene ke liye roza rakhte hain." Allah ke Rasool ne kaha, "Hum tumse Musa ke zyada qareeb hain." Phir unhone is din roza rakhne ka hukum diya.
