2443. Ibn Umar said: “Āshūrā’ was a day we used to fast during Jāhiliyyah. When (the obligation of fasting) Ramaḍān was revealed, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “This day is among Allāh’s days,” so whoever wanted to, he would fast it, and whoever wanted to, he would leave it.” (Sahīh)

Arabic text

2443 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: كَانَ عَاشُورَاءُ يَوْمًا نَصُومُهُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «هَذَا يَوْمٌ مِنْ أَيَّامِ اللَّهِ، فَمَنْ شَاءَ صَامَهُ، وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَهُ»
