1893. Narrated 'Āishah: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا (The tribe of) Quraish used to observe Saum (fast) on the day of Āshūrā in the Pre-Islāmic Period, and then Allāh's Messenger ﷺ ordered (Muslims) to observe Saum (fast) on it till the fasting in the month of Ramaḍān was prescribed; whereupon the Prophet ﷺ said, "He who wants to fast (on Āshūrā) may fast, and he who does not want to observe Saum (fast) may not fast."
1893 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، أَنَّ عِرَاكَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ عُرْوَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا،: أَنَّ قُرَيْشًا كَانَتْ تَصُومُ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ فِي الجَاهِلِيَّةِ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِصِيَامِهِ حَتَّى فُرِضَ رَمَضَانُ، وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ وَمَنْ شَاءَ أَفْطَرَ»
