Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with both of them) reported that when Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) came to Medina, he found the Jews observing the fast on the day of Ashura. They (the Jews) were asked about it and they said: It is the day on which Allah granted victory to Moses and (his people) Bani Isra'il over the Pharaoh and we observe fast out of gratitude to Him. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said: We have a closer connection with Moses than you have, and he commanded to observe fast on this day.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ، فَوَجَدَ الْيَهُودَ يَصُومُونَ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ فَسُئِلُوا عَنْ ذَلِكَ؟ فَقَالُوا: هَذَا الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي أَظْهَرَ اللهُ فِيهِ مُوسَى، وَبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ، فَنَحْنُ نَصُومُهُ تَعْظِيمًا لَهُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «نَحْنُ أَوْلَى بِمُوسَى مِنْكُمْ فَأَمَرَ بِصَوْمِهِ»

یحییٰ بن یحییٰ ، ہشیم ابی بشر ، سعید بن جبیر ، حضرت ابن عباس رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے روایت ہے فرمایا کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم مدینہ تشریف لائے تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے یہودیوں کو عاشورہ کے دن روزہ رکھتے ہوئے پایا تو لوگوں نے ان سے اس روزے کےبارے میں پوچھا تو وہ کہنے لگے کہ یہ وہ دن ہے کہ جس میں اللہ تعالیٰ نے حضر ت موسیٰ علیہ السلام کو اور بنی اسرائیل کو فرعون پر غلبہ عطا فرمایا تھا تو ہم اس دن کی عظمت کی وجہ سے روزہ رکھتے ہیں ۔ تو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ ہم تم سے زیادہ حضرت موسیٰ علیہ السلام کے قریب ہیں تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اس روزے کا حکم فرمایا ۔
