English translation

2002. Narrated ‘Āishah رضي الله عنها: Quraish used to observe Saum (fast) on the day of ‘Āshūra’ in the Pre-Islāmic Ignorance Period, and Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ too, used to observe Saum (fast) on that day. When he came to Al-Madīna, he observed Saum (fast) on that day and ordered others to observe Saum (fast), too. Later when the fasting of the month of Ramaḍān was prescribed, he gave up fasting on the day of ‘Āshūra’ and became optional for one to observe Saum (fast) on it or to leave its fasting.

Arabic text

2002 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: «كَانَ يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ تَصُومُهُ قُرَيْشٌ فِي الجَاهِلِيَّةِ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصُومُهُ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ المَدِينَةَ صَامَهُ، وَأَمَرَ بِصِيَامِهِ، فَلَمَّا فُرِضَ رَمَضَانُ تَرَكَ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ، فَمَنْ شَاءَ صَامَهُ، وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَهُ»
