الترجمة الإنجليزية
Al-Hakam ibn al-A'raj said: I sat with Ibn Abbas while he was reclining on his cloak near the well of Zamzam. I sat with him and he was an excellent companion. I asked him about the fasting of Ashura. He said: 'What aspect of it do you ask about?' I said: 'About its fasting.' He said: 'When you see the crescent of Muharram, count, and when you wake on the ninth day, fast that day.' I said: 'Is that how Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to fast it?' He said: 'Yes.'
