[Machine] Muawiyah heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say in Madinah, on the pulpit, "Where are your scholars, O people of Madinah?" I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on this day, the day of Ashura, saying, "Whoever wants to fast this day, let him fast it." And I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibit doing something like this, and he recited a poem from one of you, saying, "Indeed, the Children of Israel were destroyed when their women took it as a religious festival."
سَمِعَ مُعَاوِيَةَ يَقُولُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَيْنَ عُلَمَاؤُكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ؟ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ يَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ مَنْ شَاءَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَصُومَهُ فَلْيَصُمْهُ وَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَنْهَى عَنْ مِثْلِ هَذَا وَأَخْرَجَ قُصَّةً مِنْ شَعَرٍ مِنْ كُمِّهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا هَلَكَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ حِينَ اتَّخَذَتْهَا نِسَاؤُهُمْ
