He said, "O people of Medina, I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , saying, 'This is the day of Ashura, and its fasting is not obligatory upon you. However, I am fasting. Whoever wishes to fast may do so, and whoever wishes to break their fast may do so.'"

الكبرى للنسائي:٢٨٦٩أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ
