Hadith #39848
قال، إذا صام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يوم عاشوراء؛ وأمر بإبقاء الصحابة أيضا. فقال الصحابة يا رسول الله! هذا اليوم هو اليوم المهم جداً لليهود والمسيحيين! (وبما أننا نعارض اليهود والنصارى فإننا نساعدهم على مراعاة أهمية هذا اليوم بالصوم). فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: لئن بقيت إلى قابل فلا أصوم التاريخ أيضا. (مسلم)[1]
He said, when the Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, fasted on the day of Ashura; And ordered to keep the Companions too. Companions said, O Messenger of God! This day is the day, which is very important to Jews and Christians! (And Since we oppose the Judeo-Christians, we are assisting them in observing the importance of this day by fasting). Then the Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: If I am alive next year, then certainly not I will keep fast on the date as well. (Muslim)[1]
