حديث ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: كَانَ عَاشُورَاءُ يَصُومُهُ أَهْلُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ، قَالَ: مَنْ شَاءَ صَامَهُ وَمَنْ شَاءَ لَمْ يَصُمْهُ.
Ibn 'Umar Narrated from:
Saum (fast) was observed on the day of ' Âshûra (i.e. 10th of Muharram) by the people of the Pre-Islâmic period. But when (the order of compulsory Saum in) the month of Ramadân was revealed, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "It is up to one to observe Saum on it (i.e. day of ' Âshûra) or not." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 28, Vol. 6)
