حَدَّثَنَا
يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَنْبَأَنَا
سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ ، عَنْ
سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ ، عَنِ
الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُخَيْمِرَةَ ، عَنْ
أَبِي عَمَّارٍ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ
قَيْسَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ عَنْ
صَدَقَةِ الْفِطْرِ ، فَقَالَ : " أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْزِلَ الزَّكَاةُ ، ثُمَّ نَزَلَتْ الزَّكَاةُ ، فَلَمْ نُنْهَ عَنْهَا ، وَلَمْ نُؤْمَرْ بِهَا ، وَنَحْنُ نَفْعَلُهُ " . وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ ، فَقَالَ :
" أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ رَمَضَانُ ، ثُمَّ نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ ، فَلَمْ نُؤْمَرْ بِهِ ، وَلَمْ نُنْهَ عَنْهُ ، وَنَحْنُ نَفْعَلُهُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Qais bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) that before the command of Zakat was revealed, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to order the giving of Sadaqat-ul-Fitr. When the command of Zakat was revealed, we were forbidden from it and were not ordered to do so, but we continued to give it. And before the command of fasting in the month of Ramadan was revealed, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered us to fast on the day of Ashura. When the command of fasting in the month of Ramadan was revealed, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) neither ordered us to fast on Ashura nor forbade us, but we ourselves continued to fast.
