2373. It was narrated that Ḥumaid bin 'Abdur-Raḥmân bin 'Awf said: "I heard Mu'āwiyah say on the day of 'Āshūrâ' when he was on the Minbar: O people of Al-Maḍīnah, where are your scholars? I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say on this day: "I am fasting, so whoever wants to fast let him do so."(Ṣaḥīḥ)
2371 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، يَقُولُ: يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ، أَيْنَ عُلَمَاؤُكُمْ؟ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ: «إِنِّي صَائِمٌ، فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَصُومَ فَلْيَصُمْ»

The purpose of the Imâm An-Nasâ'î is to demonstrate that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ used to fast the day of 'Āshūrâ' also. But the singular fast of the day of 'Āshūrâ' is inappropriate. An additional day should be fixed along with it, either as a prefix or a suffix.
