Chapter 15 · The Book of Fastingحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ فِي يَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ: «إِنَّ هَذَا يَوْمٌ كَانَ يَصُومُهُ أَهْلُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَصُومَهُ فَلْيَصُمْهُ، وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَتْرُكَهُ فَلْيَتْرُكْهُ» وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ لَا يَصُومُهُ، إِلَّا أَنْ يُوَافِقَ صِيَامَهُ.

He heard the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم )bin say about the day of Ashura: It is a day on which the people of pre-Islamic days observed fast. So he who liked to fast on this day should do so, and he who liked to abandon it should abandon it. 'Abdullah رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ did not observe fast except when it coincided (with the days when he was in the habit of observing voluntary fasts during every month).
