Volume 6, Book 60, Number 30:
Narrated ‘Abdullah:
That Al-Ash’ath entered upon him while he was eating. Al-Ash’ath said, “Today is ‘Ashura.” I said
(to him), “Fasting had been observed (on such a day) before (the order of compulsory fasting in) Ra –
madan was revealed. But when (the order of fasting in) Ramadan was revealed, fasting (on ‘Ashura’)
was given up, so come and eat.”
