Sunan Ibn Majah 1735 (Book 7, Hadith 98) #31087
Fasting on Ashura Day

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) asked his companions if they had eaten on the day of Ashura, and instructed them to not eat for the rest of the day, as well as sending word to those living in the suburbs around Al-Madinah.

It was narrated from Muhammad bin Saifi that the Messenger of Allah said to us on the Day of 'Ashura’: "Has anyone among you eaten today?" We said: "Some of us have eaten and some of us have not". He said: "Complete the rest of your day (ie, do not eat for the rest of the day), whoever has eaten and whoever has not eaten. And send word to the people of the suburbs to complete the rest of their day". He was referring to the people of the suburbs around Al-Madinah.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ صَيْفِيٍّ، قَالَ: قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ: ‏"‏ مِنْكُمْ أَحَدٌ طَعِمَ الْيَوْمَ؟ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْنَا: مِنَّا طَعِمَ وَمِنَّا مَنْ لَمْ يَطْعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ: ‏"‏ فَأَتِمُّوا بَقِيَّةَ يَوْمِكُمْ. مَنْ كَانَ طَعِمَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَطْعَمْ. فَأَرْسِلُوا إِلَى أَهْلِ الْعَرُوضِ فَلْيُتِمُّوا بَقِيَّةَ يَوْمِهِمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ يَعْنِي أَهْلَ الْعَرُوضِ حَوْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
On the day of Ashura, Prophet Muhammad asked his companions if they had eaten that day. Those who had already eaten were instructed to not eat for the rest of that day and those who hadn't were also told not to eat. He then sent word out to people living in suburbs around Al-Madinah telling them to do the same. This is a reminder from Allah about fasting on this special day and it is important for us Muslims to remember this tradition and follow it accordingly. It teaches us discipline, patience, self control and obedience towards Allah's commands.
