Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَمَرَ بِصِيَامِ يَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ، فَلَمَّا فُرِضَ رَمَضَانُ كَانَ مَنْ شَاءَ صَامَ، وَمَنْ شَاءَ أَفْطَرَ.
Translation
Abū al-Yamān related to us: Shuʿayb informed us, from al-Zuhrī, who said: ʿUrwah ibn al-Zubayr informed me that ʿĀʾishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) commanded fasting on the Day of ʿĀshūrāʾ. When fasting in Ramaḍān was made obligatory, whoever wished fasted, and whoever wished did not.
