[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent on the morning of the day of Ashura to the towns of the Ansar that were around Madinah, saying, "Whoever wakes up fasting should complete his fast, and whoever wakes up without fasting should fast for the rest of the day." So we would fast it, and our young children would also fast. We would make toys for them from wool, and we would take them to the orchard. If any of them cried due to hunger, we would give them that (the toy) until it was time to break the fast.
أَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَبِيحَةَ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ إِلَى قُرَى الْأَنْصَارِ الَّتِي حَوْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ «مَنْ كَانَ أَصْبَحَ صَائِمًا فَلْيُتِمَّ صَوْمَهُ وَمَنْ كَانَ أَصْبَحَ مُفْطِرًا فَلْيَصُمْ بَقِيَّةَ يَوْمِهِ» فَكُنَّا نَصُومُهُ وَيَصُومُ صِبْيَانُنَا الصِّغَارُ وَنَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ اللُّعْبَةَ مِنَ الْعِهْنِ وَنَذْهَبُ بِهِنَّ إِلَى الْبُسْتَانِ وَإِذَا بَكَى أَحَدُهُمْ عَلَى الطَّعَامِ أَعْطَيْنَاهُ ذَاكَ حَتَّى يَكُونَ عِنْدَ الْإِفْطَارِ
