ما قالوا في صوم (يوم) عاشوراء
Fasting the day of Ashura
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 9606 — Fasting the day of Ashura
٩٦٠٦ - حدثنا عبد اللَّه بن نمير قال: (حدثنا) (١) (عبيد اللَّه) (٢) بن عمر عن نافع عن ابن عمر أن أهل الجاهلية كانوا يصومون يوم عاشوراء، وإن رسول اللَّه ﷺ صامه والمسلمون قبل أن يفترض رمضان، فلما افترض رمضان قال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "عاشوراء يوم من أيام اللَّه فمن شاء صامه ومن شاء تركه" (٣).
Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The people of the Jahiliyyah used to fast on the day of Ashura. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Muslims fasted on the day of Ashura before the fasts of Ramadan were made obligatory. When the fasts of Ramadan were made obligatory, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The day of Ashura is one of the days of Allah; whoever wishes may fast it, and whoever wishes may leave it."
