Chapter on Categories of Fasting and the Explanation of All of Them with Clarification
اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صَوْمِ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ قَالَ» مَنْ قَوِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَحَسَنٌ إِنْ لَمْ يَمْنَعْكَ مِنَ اَلدُّعَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ يَوْمُ دُعَاءٍ وَمَسْأَلَةٍ فَصُمْهُ وَإِنْ خَشِيتَ أَنْ تَضْعُفَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَلاَ تَصُمْهُ«.
Al-Husayn ibn Said, from Fadalah, from Aban ibn Uthman, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said:
I (narrator) asked Imam عليه السلام about’ fasting the day of Arafah.’ Imam عليه السلام said: “Whoever has strength for it, then it is good, if it does not prevent you from supplication, for it is a day of supplication and asking, so fast it. And if you fear that you will become weak from that, then do not fast it.”
