[Machine] He heard Muawiyah say, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to start fasting one day before Ramadan and would say, 'Verily, the fasting of a day is like so and so, and we are preemptive. So whoever wishes to begin fasting, let him begin, and whoever wishes to leave it, let him leave.'"
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُعَاوِيَةَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُومُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ قَبْلَ رَمَضَانَ بِيَوْمٍ وَيَقُولُ «إِنَّ الصِّيَامَ يَوْمُ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَنَحْنُ مُتَقَدِّمُونَ فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَتَقَدَّمَ فَلْيَتَقَدَّمْ وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَتْرُكَ فَلْيَتْرُكْ»
