4501. Narrated Ibn ‘Umar رضي الله عنهما: Fasting was observed on the day of ‘Ashūrā’ (i.e., 10th of Muḥarram) by the people of the Pre-Islāmic Period of Ignorance. But when (the order of observing compulsory fasting in) the month of Ramaḍān was revealed, the Prophet ﷺ said, “It is up to one to observe (1) (Ch. 24) Muttaqūn means pious and righteous persons who fear Allāh much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden) and love Allāh much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained). fast on it (i.e., the day of ‘Āshūrā’) or not.”

Arabic text

4501 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: كَانَ عَاشُورَاءُ يَصُومُهُ أَهْلُ الجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ قَالَ: «مَنْ شَاءَ صَامَهُ، وَمَنْ شَاءَ لَمْ يَصُمْهُ»
