Sunan Ibn Majah 1737 (Book 7, Hadith 100) #31089
Fasting on the Day of Ashura

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) encouraged people to fast on the day of Ashura, but also allowed those who did not want to fast to abstain.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin 'Umar that the Day of 'Ashura’ was mentioned in the presence of the Messenger of Allah . The Messenger of Allah said: "That was a day when the people of the Ignorance used to fast. So whoever among you wants to fast may do so, and whoever does not want to may leave it".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ ذُكِرَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ فَقَالَ: رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ كَانَ يَوْمًا يَصُومُهُ أَهْلُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ. فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَصُومَهُ فَلْيَصُمْهُ، وَمَنْ كَرِهَهُ فَلْيَدَعْهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith is about fasting on the day of 'Ashura, which was a practice among people during the time of Ignorance before Islam. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) encouraged his followers to fast on this day if they wanted, but he also allowed them to abstain from fasting if they chose not to do so. This hadith teaches us that we should be tolerant and understanding towards others and their beliefs, even if we do not agree with them or practice them ourselves. It also shows us that it is important for us as Muslims to follow Islamic teachings and practices while still respecting other religions and cultures.
