حَدَّثَنِي نَجَبَةُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْعَطَّارُ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ صَوْمِ يَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ فَقَالَ صَوْمٌ مَتْرُوكٌ بِنُزُولِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ الْمَتْرُوكُ بِدْعَةٌ قَالَ نَجَبَةُ فَسَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مِنْ بَعْدِ أَبِيهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَأَجَابَنِي بِمِثْلِ جَوَابِ أَبِيهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ صَوْمُ يَوْمٍ مَا نَزَلَ بِهِ كِتَابٌ وَ لَا جَرَتْ بِهِ سُنَّةٌ إِلَّا سُنَّةُ آلِ زِيَادٍ بِقَتْلِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا .
Translation
Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Hashimy, from Muhammad Bin Musa, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Washa who said, ‘My father narrated to me from Najbat Bin Al Haris Al Attar who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> about Fasting the day of Ashura (10<sup>th</sup> Muharram), so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is an abandoned Fast due to the Revelation of the Month of Ramazan, and (practicing) the abandoned is ‘بِدْعَةٌ’ an innovation’. Najba said, ‘So I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> from after his<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup> about that, so he<sup>asws</sup> answered me with an answer to that of his<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup>. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘But, it is a Fast of a day which neither the Book Revealed with it nor did a Sunnah flow with it, except for the sunnah of the progeny of Ziyad due to the killing of Al-Husayn<sup>asws</sup> Bin Ali<sup>asws</sup>’.
