وَحَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ وَقَالاَ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ تَرَكَهُ .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1127b
This short narration supports the previous report through the same chain of transmitters. Its main point is simple: when fasting in Ramadan was made obligatory, the practice of observing Ashura as a required fast was abandoned. For readers searching for Ashura fasting ruling, Ramadan obligatory fasting, or Sahih Muslim Ashura hadith, this narration gives a clear summary. It does not add a new story or a separate ruling. Rather, it confirms the same meaning with a small wording change. The teaching is that Islamic practice is followed according to the Prophet’s guidance. When Ramadan became the required month of fasting, Ashura was no longer treated as a compulsory fast.
What we learn from this hadith
- Ramadan became the required fasting period.
- Ashura fasting was no longer treated as compulsory after that.
- Short supporting narrations can confirm the meaning of longer reports.
- Changes in practice should be understood through clear transmitted evidence.
