"I heard Mu'awiyah say on the day of 'Ashura when he was on the Mindar: O people of Al-Madinah, where are your scholars? I heard the Messenger of Allah say on this day: "I am fasting, so whoever wants to fast let him do so."  

سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَقُولُ يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ أَيْنَ عُلَمَاؤُكُمْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَصُومَ فَلْيَصُمْ  

[Machine] Moawiya gave a speech in Medina during a visit he made on the day of Ashura. He asked, "Where are your scholars, O people of Medina? I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'This is the day of Ashura, and it is not obligatory for you to fast on it, but I am fasting. Whoever wants to fast may do so.'"  

أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ خَطَبَ بِالْمَدِينَةَ فِي قَدْمَةٍ قَدِمَهَا يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ عُلَمَاؤُكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «هَذَا يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ وَلَمْ يُكْتَبْ عَلَيْكُمْ صِيَامُهُ وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَصُومَ فَلْيَصُمْ»  

[Machine] He heard Muawiyah giving a sermon saying, "Oh people of the city, where are your scholars? I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'This is the day of Ashura and Allah has not made its fasting obligatory. But I am fasting so whoever likes to fast may do so, and whoever likes to break the fast may do so.'"  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُعَاوِيَةَ يَخْطُبُ يَقُولُ يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ أَيْنَ عُلَمَاؤُكُمْ؟ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «هَذَا يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ وَلَمْ يَفْرِضِ اللهُ صِيَامَهُ وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَصُومَ فَلْيَصُمْ وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ فَلْيُفْطِرْ»  

[Machine] He heard Muawiyah giving a sermon saying, "O people of the city, where are your scholars? I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'This is the day of Ashura, and its fasting is not obligatory upon us. So whoever among you wants to fast, let them fast, for indeed I am fasting.' So the people fasted."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُعَاوِيَةَ يَخْطُبُ يَقُولُ يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ أَيْنَ عُلَمَاؤُكُمْ؟ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «هَذَا يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ وَلَمْ يُفْرَضْ عَلَيْنَا صِيَامُهُ فَمَنْ شَاءَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَصُومَ فَلْيَصُمْ فَإِنِّي صَائِمٌ» فَصَامَ النَّاسُ  

[Machine] He informed him that he heard Muawiya while he was preaching to the people on the day of Ashura, saying: "O people of the city, where are your scholars? Indeed, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'This is the day of Ashura, and it is not obligatory for you to fast it, but indeed I am fasting.' And he said that, 'So whoever among you wishes to fast, let him fast, and whoever wishes to break his fast, let him break it.'"  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ لِلنَّاسِ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ أَيْنَ عُلَمَاؤُكُمْ؟ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «هَذَا يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ وَلَمْ يُكْتَبْ عَلَيْكُمْ صِيَامُهُ وَإِنِّي صَائِمٌ» وَهُوَ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ «فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَصُومَهُ فَلْيَصُمْ وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ فَلْيُفْطِرْ»
