4503. Narrated ‘Abdullāh that Al-Ash‘ath entered upon him while he was eating. Al-Ash‘ath said, “Today is ‘Āshūrā’.” I said (to him), “Fasting had been observed (on such a day) before (the order of compulsory fasting in) Ramaḍān was revealed. But when (the order of fasting in) Ramaḍān was revealed, observing fasting (on ‘Āshūrā’) was given up, so come and eat.”
