2323. It was narrated that Yazîd said: "Salamah told us that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to a man: 'Announce the day of 'Ashūrā'. Whoever has eaten let him not eat for the rest of the day, and whoever has not eaten, let him fast.'" (Saḥīḥ)

Arabic text

٢٣٢١ - أَخْبَرَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌يَحْيَى ، عَنْ ‌يَزِيدَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سَلَمَةُ «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ: أَذِّنْ - يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ: مَنْ كَانَ أَكَلَ فَلْيُتِمَّ بَقِيَّةَ يَوْمِهِ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَكَلَ فَلْيَصُمْ».

Commentary

For a voluntary fast, the intention could be formulated during the daylight hours and the fast could be commenced, providing one has refrained from eating and drinking since the crack of dawn.
