حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ کَانَتْ قُرَيْشٌ تَصُومُ عَاشُورَائَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَکَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصُومُهُ فَلَمَّا هَاجَرَ إِلَی الْمَدِينَةِ صَامَهُ وَأَمَرَ بِصِيَامِهِ فَلَمَّا فُرِضَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ مَنْ شَائَ صَامَهُ وَمَنْ شَائَ تَرَکَهُ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 2637
Kuraib, the freed slave of Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with him), reported from Maimuna, the wife of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), that people had doubt about the fasting of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) on the day of 'Arafa. Maimuna sent him a cup of milk and he was halting at a place and he drank it and the people were seeing him.
