ḤADĪTH OF THE DAY

“ Al- Ḥakam Ibnul-A'raj said, "I came to Ibn-'Abbās , who he was bolstered on his cloak at Zamzam, and said, 'Tell me which day is the Day of 'Āshūrā' (2) so that I fast it.' He replied, 'When you see the crescent (3) of [the month of] Muharram, count [the days] then begin fasting from the ninth day (4).' I asked, 'Is this how Muhammad, peace and blessings of God be upon him, used to fast ['Āshūrā']?' He confirmed, 'yes.'" Footnotes: 1. The well located in the vicinity of the Sanctified House of God, the Ka'bah, where the prophet Ishmael's mother, Hagar, found water under her son's feet. The well produces water to this day. 2. The day on which prophet Moses used to fast to give thanks to God for saving the Children of Israel from their enemy. Fasting on the Day of 'Ashūrā' is optional. However, the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said that the reward for fasting on that day is the expiation of sins committed during the year leading up to it. 3. The appearance of the crescent signals the beginning of the month. 4. The majority of scholars consider the Day of 'Āshūrā' to be the tenth of Muharram. Ibn-'Abbās also narrated another hadīth clearly identifying the tenth of Muharram as the Day of Āshūrā'. However, the Jews of Madīnah used to fast on that day long before the arrival of the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him. In order to distinguish the Muslims from them, the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, decided to fast an extra day the following year; only he did not live long enough to do so. In which case, he would indeed have started to fast the morning of the ninth of Muharram, as indicated by Ibn-'Abbās. ”

Sunan at-Tirmithiy كتاب البيوع باب ما جاء فى اليمين الفاجرة يقتطع بها مال المسلم

حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ شَقِيقِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ وَهُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَقِىَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ. فَقَالَ الأَشْعَثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ فِىَّ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ كَانَ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ أَرْضٌ فَجَحَدَنِى فَقَدَّمْتُهُ إِلَى النَّبِىِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ لِى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ. قُلْتُ لاَ. فَقَالَ لِلْيَهُودِىِّ احْلِفْ. فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذًا يَحْلِفَ فَيَذْهَبَ بِمَالِى. فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلاً. إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِى الْبَابِ عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ وَأَبِى مُوسَى وَأَبِى أُمَامَةَ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ الأَنْصَارِىِّ وَعِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ. وَحَدِيثُ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
'Abdullāh Ibn-Mas'ūd related, "The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, 'Whoever takes a false oath to abstract the wealth of a Muslim, God will be wrathful at him when he meets Him.'" Al-Ash'ath Ibn-Qays then announced, "By God, this did happen. I shared a piece of land with a Jew, but he denied me [my right to it]. So I brought him before the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, who then asked, 'Do you have any evidence?' I replied, 'No.' He then instructed the Jew, 'Take an oath.' I protested, 'Messenger of God, if he takes an oath he will take away my wealth!' God then revealed, 'Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their [own] oaths for a small price will have no share in the Hereafter, and Allah will not speak to them or look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them; and they will have a painful punishment. (3 [Āl 'Imrān]: 77)'"
