حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ كَانَ عَاشُورَاءُ يُصَامُ قَبْلَ رَمَضَانَ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ قَالَ " مَنْ شَاءَ صَامَ، وَمَنْ شَاءَ أَفْطَرَ ".
Narrated `Aisha:The people used to fast on the day of 'Ashura' before fasting in Ramadan was prescribed but when (the order of compulsory fasting in) Ramadan was revealed, it was up to one to fast on it (i.e. 'Ashura') or not
Aisha bataati hain: Log Ashura ke din roza rakha karte the, is se pehle ke Ramzan ke roze farz kiye jaayein. Magar jab Ramzan (ke roze) ka hukm naazil hua, to Ashura ka roza rakhna ikhtiyaari ho gaya - jo chaahe rakhe, jo na chaahe na rakhe.
