Musnad of Aishah
Musnad Abi Ya'la 4638 — she said: The day of Ashura was a day on which
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ : كَانَ يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ يَوْمًا تَصُومُهُ قُرَيْشٌ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ، فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ يَصُومُهُ ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ صَامَهُ ، وَأَمَرَ بِصِيَامِهِ ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ صَوْمُ رَمَضَانَ كَانَ رَمَضَانُ هُوَ الْفَرِيضَةَ ، وَتَرَكَ عَاشُورَاءَ ، فَكَانَ مَنْ شَاءَ صَامَهُ ، وَمَنْ شَاءَ لَمْ يَصُمْهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: "The day of Ashura was a day on which Quraysh used to fast in the time of ignorance (Jahiliyyah), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also used to fast on that day. Then, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Madinah, he himself fasted on it and commanded that it be fasted. But when the command of fasting Ramadan was revealed, only the fasts of Ramadan were obligatory, and the fast of Ashura was left (as an obligation); so after that, whoever wished would fast on that day and whoever wished would not."
