وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ أَنَّهُ
سَمِعَ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ عَامَ حَجَّ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَقُولُ يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ أَيْنَ عُلَمَاؤُكُمْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لِهَذَا الْيَوْمِ هَذَا يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ وَلَمْ يُكْتَبْ عَلَيْكُمْ صِيَامُهُ وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ فَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَصُمْ وَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيُفْطِرْ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Humayd ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf heard Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan say from the mimbar on the day of Ashura in the year in which he made the hajj, "People of Madina, where are your learned men? I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say about this day, 'This is the day of Ashura, and fasting it has not been prescribed for you. I am fasting it, and whoever of you wants to fast it can do so, and whoever does not want to, does not have to.' "

Abī Ḥamzah, Maʿmar, ʿUqayl, Yūnus, al-Awzāʿī, the nephew of al-Zuhrī, Abū Uways, Sufyān b. Ḥusayn and al-Nuʿmān b. Rāshid, and they did not differ about al-Zuhrī, from Ḥumayd. Abū al-ʿUṭūf narrated it from al-Zuhrī and said: from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Taymī, from Muʿāwiyah. ʿAbd al-Jabbār b. ʿUmar al-Aylī narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from ʿUmar b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz, from Ibrāhīm b. Qāriẓ, from Muʿāwiyah. Al-Nuʿmān b. Rāshid narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from al-Sāʾib b. Yazīd, from Muʿāwiyah. The sound (ṣaḥīḥ) one is the hadith of al-Zuhrī from Ḥumayd b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān.
