Musnad Ahmad 6292 — Musnad of Abdullah ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ عُمَرَ , أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ كَانُوا يَصُومُونَ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ ، وَأَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَامَهُ وَالْمُسْلِمُونَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُفْتَرَضَ رَمَضَانُ ، فَلَمَّا افْتُرِضَ رَمَضَانُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ عَاشُورَاءَ يَوْمٌ مِنْ أَيَّامِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى ، فَمَنْ 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. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Muslims also used to fast on this day before the fasting of the month of Ramadan was made obligatory. When the command for fasting in the month of Ramadan was revealed, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is one of the days of Allah; whoever wishes may fast, and whoever wishes may leave it."
