Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ أَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى قَرْيَةٍ عَلَى رَأْسِ أَرْبَعَةِ فَرَاسِخَ أَوْ قَالَ فَرْسَخَيْنِ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ فَأَمَرَ مَنْ أَكَلَ أَنْ لَا يَأْكُلَ بَقِيَّةَ يَوْمِهِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ أَنْ يُتِمَّ صَوْمَهُ.
English Translation
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) sent a message to a village at a distance of four farsakhs — or he said two farsakhs — on the day of Ashura. He commanded whoever had eaten to stop eating for the rest of the day, and whoever had not eaten to complete his fast.
