حديث مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَحْمنِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُعَاوِيَةَ ابْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ، عَامَ حَجَّ، عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، يَقُولُ: يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَة أَيْنَ عُلَمَاؤُكُمْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، يَقُولُ: هذَا يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ، وَلَمْ يُكْتَبْ عَلَيْكُمْ صِيَامُهُ، وَأَنَا صَائمٌ، فَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَصُمْ وَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيُفْطِرْ.

Humaid bin 'Abdur-Rahman Narrated from:

Narrated Humaid bin 'Abdur-Rahmân رضي الله عنه that he heard Mu'âwiya bin Abî Sufyân رضي الله عنه on the day of ' Ashûra during the year he performed the Hajj, saying on the pulpit, "O the people of Al-Madîna! Where are your religious scholars? I hear Allâh's Messenger ﷺ saying, 'This is the day of ' Ashûra. Allâh has not enjoined observing Saum (fast) on this day on you but I am observing Saum. You have the choice either to observe Saum or not (on this day).' " ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 221, Vol. 3)
