عَنْ حُمَیْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ:أَنَّہُ سَمِعَ مُعَاوِیَۃَ بْنَ أَبِی سُفْیَانَ عَامَ حَجَّ وَھُوَ عَلَی الْمِنْبَرِ، یَقُولُ:یَا أَھْلَ الْمَدِینَۃِ، أَیْنَ عُلَمَا ؤُکُمْ؟ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللہِ صَلَّی اللہُ عَلَیْہِ وَسَلَّمَ یَقُولُ لِمَثْلِ ھَذَا الٔیَوْمِ یَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ:((لَمْ یَکْتُبِ اللہُ عَلَیْکُمْ صِیَامَہُ، فَأَنَا صَائِمٌ فَمَنْ شَاءَ مِنْکُمْ فَلْیَصُمْ وَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْیُفْطِرْ))۔
مسند امام شافی · Hadith 631
On the authority of Hamid Bin Abd Al-Rahman: What was heard by Ma’awi bin Abi Sufyan in the year of Hajj, who is on the pulpit, he says: He said: He said: I heard the Messenger Allہ peace Allہ Alیہ him say to such a day of Ashura: ((not Allہ Alیکm Sیamہ writes, I am fasting it wills of you, then let it will break his fast)).
