Al-Lu'lu Wal-MarjanHadith Number 696
حديث الرُّبَيِّعِ بِنْتِ مُعَوِّذٍ، قَالَتْ: أَرْسَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ غَدَاةَ عَاشُورَاءَ إِلَى قرَى الأَنْصَارِ مَنْ أَصْبَحَ مُفْطِرًا فَلْيُتِمَّ بَقِيَّةَ يَوْمِهِ، وَمَنْ أَصْبَحَ صَائمًا فَلْيَصُمْ قَالَتْ: فَكنَّا نَصُومُهُ بَعْدُ، وَنُصَوِّمُ صِبْيَانَنَا وَنَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ اللُّعْبَةَ مِنَ الْعِهْنِ، فَإِذَا بَكَى أَحَدُهُمْ عَلَى الطَّعَامِ أَعْطَيْنَاهُ ذَاكَ حَتَّى يَكُونَ عِنْدَ الإِفْطَارِ.
Ar-Ruba' bint Mu'awwidh Narrated from:
The Prophet ﷺ sent a messenger to the village of the Ansâr in the morning of the day of 'Āshûra (10th of Muharram) to announce: 'Whoever has eaten something should not eat but complete Saum (fast), and whoever is observing the Saum should complete it.' She further said, "Since then we used to observe Saum on that day regularly and also make our boys (children) do so. We used to make toys of wool for the boys and if anyone of them cried for food, he was given those toys till it was the time of Iftâr (the breaking of Saum)".( Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 181, Vol. 3) mentioned that observing Saum (fast) on the day of 'Arafah expiates the sins of two years, while observing Saum on the day of 'Āshûra expiates the sins of only one year. This indicates that observing Saum on the day of 'Arafah is superior to that of 'Āshûra.
