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.
