753. 'Aishah narrated: "'Ashūrā' was a day that the Quraish used to fast during Jāhiliyyah, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to fast it. When he arrived in Al-Madinah he fasted it, and he ordered the people to fast it. But when (the fast of) Ramaḍān became obligatory, the Ramaḍān was the required and 'Ashūrā' was left. So whoever wanted to, he fasted it, and whoever wanted to, he left it." (Saḥīḥ) There are narrations on this topic from Ibn Mas'ūd, Qais bin Sa'd, Jābir bin Samurah, Ibn 'Umar, and Mu'āwiyah. Abū 'Eisā said: The Ḥadīth of 'Aishah is acted upon according to the people of knowledge, and it is a Ṣaḥīḥ Ḥadīth. They do not consider fasting the Day of 'Āshūrā' required except for the one who desires to fast it due to the virtues that have been mentioned about it.

٧٥٣ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ ‌هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ ‌عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: «كَانَ عَاشُورَاءُ يَوْمًا تَصُومُهُ قُرَيْشٌ» فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصُومُهُ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ صَامَهُ وَأَمَرَ النَّاسَ بِصِيَامِهِ، فَلَمَّا افْتُرِضَ رَمَضَانُ كَانَ رَمَضَانُ هُوَ الْفَرِيضَةَ وَتَرَكَ عَاشُورَاءَ، فَمَنْ شَاءَ صَامَهُ وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَهُ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَقَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ وَجَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ وَابْنِ عُمَرَ وَمُعَاوِيَةَ. وَالْعَمَلُ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ عَلَى حَدِيثِ عَائِشَةَ، وَهُوَ حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ؛ لَا يَرَوْنَ صِيَامَ يَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ وَاجِبًا إِلَّا مَنْ رَغِبَ فِي صِيَامِهِ لِمَا ذُكِرَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْفَضْلِ.
