691 صحيح حديث مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَحْمنِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُعَاوِيَةَ ابْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ، عَامَ حَجَّ، عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، يَقُولُ: يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَة أَيْنَ عُلَمَاؤُكُمْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ: هذَا يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ، وَلَمْ يُكْتَبْ عَلَيْكُمْ صِيَامُهُ، وَأَنَا صَائمٌ، فَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَصُمْ وَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيُفْطِرْ
Humaid bin Abdur Rahman narrates that I heard Sayyiduna Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) on the day of Ashura during Hajj, delivering a sermon from the pulpit. He said: O people of Madinah, where have your scholars gone? I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: This is the day of Ashura; its fasting is not obligatory upon you, but I am fasting, so whoever wishes may fast (and act upon my Sunnah), and whoever wishes may not fast.
Brief Explanation
Perhaps it reached Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah radi Allahu anhu that the people of Madinah consider fasting on ‘Ashura’ to be disliked, or they do not give it due importance, or they regard it as obligatory, so he delivered this address from the pulpit. (Secret)
