حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَاجِبُ بْنُ عُمَرَ أَبُو خُشَيْنَةَ، أَخُو عِيسَى، ، النَّحْوِيِّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ الْأَعْرَجِ، قَالَ: جَلَسْتُ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَهُوَ مُتَوَسِّدٌ رِدَاءَهُ عِنْدَ بِئْرِ زَمْزَمَ، فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَيْهِ، وَكَانَ نِعْمَ الْجَلِيسُ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ عَاشُورَاءَ؟ فَقَالَ: " عَنْ أَيِّ بَالِهِ تَسْأَلُ؟ " قُلْتُ: عَنْ صِيَامِهِ، قَالَ: " إِذَا رَأَيْتَ هِلالَ الْمُحَرَّمِ فَاعْدُدْ، فَإِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ مِنْ تَاسِعِهِ، فَصُمْ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ " قُلْتُ: أَهَكَذَا كَانَ يَصُومُهُ مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: " نَعَمْ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said:

I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) in a dream when I slept in the middle of the day. He was standing, looking dishevelled and dusty, with a bottle in his hand in which there was blood. I said: May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah. What is this? He said: This is the blood of al-Husain and his companions. I have been collecting it all day. We worked out that day, and we found that it was the day on which he was killed.
