English translation

3831. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها ‘Āshūrā' (i.e., the tenth of Muḥarram) was a day on which the tribe of Quraish used to observe fasting in the Pre-Islāmic Period of Ignorance. The Prophet ﷺ also used to observe Ṣaum (fast) on this day. So when he emigrated to Al-Madīna, he observed fasting on it and ordered (the Muslims) to fast on it. When the fasting of (the month of) Ramaḍān was enjoined, it became optional for the people to observe fast or not to observe fast on the day of ‘Āshūrā'.

Arabic text

3831 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: «كَانَ يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ يَوْمًا تَصُومُهُ قُرَيْشٌ، فِي الجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصُومُهُ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ المَدِينَةَ صَامَهُ، وَأَمَرَ بِصِيَامِهِ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ كَانَ مَنْ شَاءَ صَامَهُ، وَمَنْ شَاءَ لاَ يَصُومُهُ»
