أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ يَقُولُ أَيْنَ عُلَمَاؤُكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ؟ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ «إِنِّي صَائِمٌ فَمَنْ شَاءَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَصُومَ فَلْيَصُمْ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا أَوْلَى بِالصَّوَابِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ وَالْكَلَامُ الْآخَرُ خَطَأٌ

✧ I heard Mu'awiyah on the day of Ashura while he was on the pulpit in Madinah saying, "Where are your scholars, O people of Madinah? I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say on this day, 'I am fasting, so whoever of you wishes to fast, let him fast.'" Abu Abd al-Rahman said: "This is more correct than the hadith of Muhammad b. Mansur, and the other statement is an error."
