Hadith 4503

حَدَّثَنِي مَحْمُودٌ , أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ , عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ , عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ , عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ , عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ , عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ , قَالَ : دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْأَشْعَثُ وَهْوَ يَطْعَمُ , فَقَالَ : الْيَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءُ , فَقَالَ : " كَانَ يُصَامُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ رَمَضَانُ ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ تُرِكَ فَادْنُ فَكُلْ " .
Narrated `Abdullah: That Al-Ash'ath entered upon him while he was eating. Al-Ash'ath said, "Today is 'Ashura." I said (to him), "Fasting had been observed (on such a day) before (the order of compulsory fasting in) Ramadan was revealed. But when (the order of fasting in) Ramadan was revealed, fasting (on 'Ashura') was given up, so come and eat."
