English translation

4504. Narrated ‘Āishah رضي الله عنها: During the Pre-Islāmic Period of Ignorance, the Quraish used to observe fasting on the day of ‘Āshūrā’, and the Prophet ﷺ himself used to observe fast on it too. But when he came to Al-Madīna, he observed fasting on that day and ordered the Muslims to observe fasting on it. When (the order of observing compulsory fasting in) Ramaḍān was revealed, fasting in Ramaḍān became an obligation, and fasting on ‘Āshūrā’ was given up, and whoever wished to fast (on it) did so, and whoever did not wish to observe fast on it, did not fast.

Arabic text

4504 - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ المُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: «كَانَ يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ تَصُومُهُ قُرَيْشٌ فِي الجَاهِلِيَّةِ، وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصُومُهُ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ المَدِينَةَ صَامَهُ وَأَمَرَ بِصِيَامِهِ ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ كَانَ رَمَضَانُ الفَرِيضَةَ، وَتُرِكَ عَاشُورَاءُ، فَكَانَ مَنْ شَاءَ صَامَهُ وَمَنْ شَاءَ لَمْ يَصُمْهُ»
