That day

One ayah. One hadith. One name. Quiet things, in their place.

أَحَسِبَ ٱلنَّاسُ أَن يُتْرَكُوٓا۟ أَن يَقُولُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا وَهُمْ لَا يُفْتَنُونَ

Ahasiba annasu anyutrakoo an yaqooloo amanna wahum layuftanoon

Do people think they will be left alone on saying, We believe, and will not be tested?

Today's hadith · fasting

Sahih Muslim 1162

The fast of Arafah

صِيَامُ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ أَحْتَسِبُ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ السَّنَةَ الَّتِي قَبْلَهُ وَالسَّنَةَ الَّتِي بَعْدَهُ

Siyamu yawmi 'Arafata ahtasibu 'ala-llahi an yukaffira-s-sanata-llati qablahu wa-s-sanata-llati ba'dah.

Fasting the day of Arafah, I hope from Allah, expiates the year before it and the year after it.

Narrated by Abu Qatadah.
