Narrator:Abdullah ibn Mas‘ūd

حَدَّثَنِي مَحْمُودٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ الأَشْعَثُ وَهْوَ يَطْعَمُ فَقَالَ الْيَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءُ‏.‏ فَقَالَ

كَانَ يُصَامُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ رَمَضَانُ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ تُرِكَ، فَادْنُ فَكُلْ‏.‏

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) Ramadan was revealed. But when (the order of fasting in) Ramadan was revealed, fasting (on 'Ashura') was given up, so come and eat."

قَوْله : ( حَدَّثَنِي مَحْمُود ) هُوَ اِبْن غَيْلَان وَثَبَتَ كَذَلِكَ فِي رِوَايَة كَذَا قَالَ أَبُو عَلِيّ الْجَيَّانِيُّ , وَقَدْ وَقَعَ فِي نُسْخَة الْأَصِيلِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي أَحْمَد الْجُرْجَانِيِّ " حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّد " بَدَل " مَحْمُود " وَقَدْ ذَكَرَ الْكَلَابَاذِيُّ أَنَّ الْبُخَارِيّ رَوَى عَنْ مَحْمُود اِبْن غَيْلَان وَعَنْ مُحَمَّد وَهُوَ اِبْن يَحْيَى الذُّهْلِيُّ عَنْ عُبَيْد اللَّه بْن مُوسَى , قَالَ أَبُو عَلِيّ الْجَيَّانِيُّ : لَكِنْ هُنَا الِاعْتِمَاد عَلَى مَا قَالَ الْجَمَاعَة عَنْ مَحْمُود بْن غَيْلَان الْمَرْوَزِيِّ. قَوْله : ( عَنْ عَبْد اللَّه ) هُوَ اِبْن مَسْعُود. قَوْله : ( قَالَ : دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْأَشْعَث وَهُوَ يَطْعَم ) أَيْ يَأْكُل وَفِي رِوَايَة مُسْلِم مِنْ…

Authentic Muttafaq ‘alayh (Bukhari and Muslim) Sahih Muslim 1127d

Abu Abd al-Rahman, it is the day of 'Ashura (and you are eating). Upon this he said: Fast was observed on (this day) before the (fasting) in Ramadan was made obligatory, but when it was made obligatory, (fasting on the day of 'Ashura) was abandoned. So if you are not fasting, then take food.

قَدْ كَانَ يُصَامُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ رَمَضَانُ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ تُرِكَ فَإِنْ كُنْتَ مُفْطِرًا فَاطْعَمْ ‏.‏
