حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ عَاشُورَاءُ يَوْمًا تَصُومُهُ قُرَيْشٌ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم 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 . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَالْعَمَلُ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ عَلَى حَدِيثِ عَائِشَةَ وَهُوَ حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ لاَ يَرَوْنَ صِيَامَ يَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ وَاجِبًا إِلاَّ مَنْ رَغِبَ فِي صِيَامِهِ لِمَا ذُكِرَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْفَضْلِ .

Harun bin Ishaq Al-Hamdani narrated to us: 'Abdah bin Sulaiman narrated to us, from Hisham bin 'Urwah, from his father, from 'Aishah, who said: 'Ashura was a day that Quraysh used to fast during the pre-Islamic period, and the Messenger of Allah also used to fast it. When he came to Madinah, he fasted it and instructed the people to fast it. When Ramadan was made obligatory, Ramadan became the obligatory fast and 'Ashura was left optional: whoever wished fasted it, and whoever wished left it. Reports on this topic are also narrated from Ibn Mas'ud, Qais bin Sa'd, Jabir bin Samurah, Ibn 'Umar, and Mu'awiyah. Abu 'Isa said: Scholars act on the hadith of 'Aishah, which is sahih. They do not consider fasting the Day of 'Ashura obligatory; whoever wishes may fast it for the virtue mentioned in the reports.
