[Machine] Mu'awiyah said from the pulpit of the city, "Where are your scholars, O people of the city? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to forbid things like this, and he narrated a story from a group among you, from the Ku'bah of one of them, containing poetry, and he said, 'Verily, the Children of Israel were destroyed when their women began to adopt such actions. Where are your scholars, O people of the city? I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on this day, the Day of Ashura, saying, 'Indeed, I am fasting, so whoever among you wants to fast, let him fast.'"
