(يٰٓأَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُوْنَ) ‘‘হে ঈমানদারগণ! তোমাদের উপর সওম ফারয করা হল যেরূপ ফারয করা হয়েছিল তোমাদের পূর্ববর্তী লোকেদের উপর, যেন তোমরা মুত্তাকী হতে পার।’’ (সূরাহ আল-বাকারাহ ২/১৮৩) ৪৫০১. ইবনু ‘উমার (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, জাহিলী যুগের লোকেরা আশুরার সওম পালন করত। এরপর যখন রমাযানের সওমের বিধান অবতীর্ণ হল, তখন নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু ‘আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেন, যার ইচ্ছা সে আশুরার সওম পালন করবে আর যার ইচ্ছা সে তার সওম পালন করবে না। [১৮৯২; মুসলিম ১৩/১৯, হাঃ ১১২৬, আহমাদ ৬৩০০] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৪১৪৩, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
