حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، - رضى الله عنها - قَالَتْ كَانَ يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ يَوْمًا تَصُومُهُ قُرَيْشٌ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَصُومُهُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْمَدِينَةَ صَامَهُ وَأَمَرَ بِصِيَامِهِ فَلَمَّا فُرِضَ رَمَضَانُ كَانَ هُوَ الْفَرِيضَةَ وَتُرِكَ عَاشُورَاءُ فَمَنْ شَاءَ صَامَهُ وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَهُ .

Narrator: Aishah

English translation
Aishah said: The Quraish used to fast on the day of 'Ashurah in pre Islamic days. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would fast on it in pre-Islamic period. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to Medina, he fasted on it and commanded to fast on it. When the fast of Ramadan was prescribed, that became obligatory, and (fasting on) 'Ashurah was abandoned. He who wishes may fast on it and he who wishes may leave it
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। ‘আয়িশাহ্ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, জাহিলিয়াতের যুগে কুরাইশরা আশূরার সওম পালন করতো। জাহিলী যুগে রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-ও এদিন সওম রাখতেন। রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম মদীনায় এসে এ দিন সওম রেখেছেন এবং লোকদেরকেও সওম পালনের নির্দেশ দিয়েছেন। অতঃপর রমাযানের সওম ফরয হলে সেটিই ফরয হিসেবে বহাল হলো এবং আশূরার দিন সওম রাখার আবশ্যকতা পরিত্যক্ত হলো। ফলে যার ইচ্ছা সওম রাখতো এবং যার ইচ্ছা ত্যাগ করতো। সহীহ।
