That Al-Ash'ath entered upon him while he was eating. Al-Ash'ath said, "Today is 'Ashura." I said (to him), "Fasting had been observed (on such a day) before (the order of compulsory fasting in) Ramadan was revealed. But when (the order of fasting in) Ramadan was revealed, fasting (on 'Ashura') was given up, so come and eat."

أَنْ يَنْزِلَ رَمَضَانُ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ تُرِكَ فَادْنُ فَكُلْ

Abu Abd al-Rahman, it is the day of 'Ashura (and you are eating). Upon this he said: Fast was observed on (this day) before the (fasting) in Ramadan was made obligatory, but when it was made obligatory, (fasting on the day of 'Ashura) was abandoned. So if you are not fasting, then take food.

يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنَّ الْيَوْمَ يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ فَقَالَ قَدْ كَانَ يُصَامُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ رَمَضَانُ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ تُرِكَ فَإِنْ كُنْتَ مُفْطِرًا فَاطْعَمْ

[AI] "Do you know the significance of the day of Ashura? Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to observe fasting on it before the month of Ramadan was made obligatory. However, when Ramadan was decreed as obligatory, the fasting of Ashura was abandoned."

وَتَدْرِي مَا يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ؟ إِنَّمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصُومُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ رَمَضَانُ فَلَمَّا أُنْزِلَ رَمَضَانُ تُرِكَ

فَقَالَ هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ ؟ إِنَّمَا يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ يَوْمُ كَانَ يَصُومُهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ رَمَضَانَ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ تَرَكَ

[AI] "Do you not come closer, O Abu Muhammad, to lunch?" He said, "Why did you fast today?" He said, "We used to fast this day before Ramadan came down. So when Ramadan came down, we fasted it and left everything else."

أَلَا تَدْنُو يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ إِلَى الْغَدَاءِ؟ قَالَ وَمَا صُمْتُمْ هَذَا الْيَوْمَ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّ هَذَا الْيَوْمَ كُنَّا نَصُومُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ رَمَضَانُ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ صُمْنَاهُ وَتَرَكْنَا مَا سِوَاهُ»

[AI] Feed, for this is a day that used to be fasted before Ramadan came down. Then Ramadan came, so this day was abandoned.

«اطْعَمْ إِنَّ هَذَا يَوْمٌ كَانَ يُصَامُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ رَمَضَانُ فَنَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ فَتُرِكَ هَذَا الْيَوْمُ»

"عَنِ ابنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: كانَ عَاشُوَراءُ يَوْمًا يَصُومُهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ رَمَضَانُ ثُمَّ تَركَهُ".

"عَنِ ابنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: عَاشُورَاءُ يَوْمٌ كُنَّا نَصُومُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ رَمَضَانُ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ صُمْنَاهُ وَتَركْنَا مَا سِوَاهُ".
