2003. Narrated Ḥumaid bin ‘Abdur-Raḥmān that he heard Mu‘āwiya bin Abī Sufyān رضي الله عنهما on the day of ‘Āshūra’ during the year he performed the Hajj, saying on the pulpit, “O the people of Al-Madīna! Where are your religious scholars? I heard Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ saying, ‘This is the day of ‘Āshūra’. Allāh has not enjoined its Saum (fast) on you but I am fasting it. You have the choice either to observe Saum (fast) or not to observe Saum (fast) (on this day).’”
2003 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ عَامَ حَجَّ عَلَى المِنْبَرِ يَقُولُ: يَا أَهْلَ المَدِينَةِ أَيْنَ عُلَمَاؤُكُمْ؟ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «هَذَا يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ وَلَمْ يَكْتُبِ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ صِيَامَهُ، وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ، فَمَنْ شَاءَ، فَلْيَصُمْ وَمَنْ شَاءَ، فَلْيُفْطِرْ»
