Musnad Ahmad 5203 — Musnad of Abdullah ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : كَانَ يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ يَوْمًا يَصُومُهُ أَهْلُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ سُئِلَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " هُوَ يَوْمٌ مِنْ أَيَّامِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى ، مَنْ شَاءَ صَامَهُ ، وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَهُ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the people of Jahiliyyah used to fast on the tenth of Muharram. When the command for fasting in the month of Ramadan was revealed, the people asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about its ruling. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is one of the days of Allah; whoever wishes may fast, and whoever wishes may leave it."
