Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #26907

Qutaibah and Ahmad bin Abdah al-Dhabi told us, saying: Hammad bin Zayd told us, on the authority of Ghaylan bin Jarir, on the authority of Abdullah bin Ma’abad al-Zamani, On the authority of Abu Qatada, that the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “Fasting on the Day of Arafat. I hope that God will expiate the Sunnah.” The one before it and the year after it.” He said, and in the chapter on the authority of Abu Sa’id. Abu Issa said, “The hadith of Abu Qatada is a hasan hadith.” The people of knowledge have deemed it desirable to fast on the Day of Arafat, except during Arafat.
