[2653] 126 – (1129) Humaid bin 'Abdur-Rahmân narrated that he heard Mu'âwiyah bin AbI Sufyân delivering a Kiiutbah in Al- Madinah – meaning, on one of his visits there – on the day of 'A}hârâ', in which he said: "Where are your scholars, 0 people of A1-Madinah? I heard the Messenger of Allah say concerning this day: 'This is the day of 'ALhârâ' and Allah has not enjoined you to fast (on this day) and I am fasting. So whoever among you wants to fast, let him do so, and whoever among you does not want to fast, let him not do so."
