عن ابن عبّاس رضي الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم صوموا يوم عاشوراء وخالفوا اليهود صوموا قبله يوما أو بعده يوما (مسند أحمد، الرقم 2154)
Hazrat Ibn Abbaas (Radhiyallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, “Fast on the Day of ‘Aashuraa and contradict the Jews. (The Jews used to fast on the tenth only.) Fast on the day before the tenth or the day after the tenth (as well).”
Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) reported, “Whoever sends salutations upon Nabi (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) once, Allah Ta‘ala and His angels will send seventy mercies and blessings upon him in return of his one Durood. Hence, whoever wishes to increase his Durood should increase it, and whoever wishes to decrease his Durood should decrease it (i.e. if he wants to earn great rewards, then he should increase his Durood).”
