حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: كَانَ يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ يَوْمًا يَصُومُهُ أَهْلُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ، سُئِلَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " هُوَ يَوْمٌ مِنْ أَيَّامِ اللهِ تَعَالَى، مَنْ شَاءَ صَامَهُ وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَهُ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the people of Jahiliyyah used to fast on the tenth of Muharram. When the command for fasting in the month of Ramadan was revealed, the people asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about its ruling. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "It is one of the days of Allah; whoever wishes may fast, and whoever wishes may leave it."
