A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Quraish used to fast on the day of 'Ashura in the pre-Islamic days and the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) also observed it. When he migrated to Medina, he himself observed this fast and commanded (others) to observe it. But when fasting during the month of Ramadan was made obligatory he said: He who wishes to observe this fast may do so, and he who wishes to abandon it may do so.
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: كَانَتْ قُرَيْشٌ تَصُومُ عَاشُورَاءَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصُومُهُ، فَلَمَّا هَاجَرَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، صَامَهُ وَأَمَرَ بِصِيَامِهِ، فَلَمَّا فُرِضَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ: «مَنْ شَاءَ صَامَهُ وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَهُ»
  ۔ زہیر بن حرب ، جریر ، ہشام بن عروۃ ، سیدہ عائشہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہا سے روایت ہے فرماتی ہیں کہ قریش جاہلیت کے زمانہ میں عاشورہ کے دن روزہ رکھتے تھے ۔ اور رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے بھی جب مدینہ کی طرف ہجرت فرمائی تواپنے صحابہ رضوان اللہ عنھم اجمعین کو بھی اس کا روزہ رکھنے کاحکم فرمایا تو جب رمضان کے روزے فرض کر دیئے گئے تو آ پ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ جو چاہے یوم عاشورہ کا روزہ رکھے اور جو چاہے چھوڑدے ۔
