أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ هِشَامٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ
«كَانَ يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ يَوْمًا تَصُومُهُ قُرَيْشٌ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصُومُهُ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ صَامَهُ وَأَمَرَ بِصِيَامِهِ فَنَزَلَ صَوْمُ رَمَضَانَ فَكَانَ رَمَضَانُ هُوَ الْفَرِيضَةُ فَمَنْ شَاءَ صَامَ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ»

✧ The day of 'Ashura' was a day the Quraysh used to fast in the Jahiliyyah, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast it. When he came to Madinah, he fasted it and commanded its fasting. Then the fast of Ramadan was revealed, and Ramadan became the obligatory fast. So whoever wished fasted the day of 'Ashura', and whoever wished left it.
