Sahih Muslim 1127c (Book 13, Hadith 156) #9795
Fasting on the Day of 'Ashura

SUMMARY: This hadith is about how al-Ash'ath b. Qais went to 'Abdullah on the day of 'Ashura and asked him to dine, but he said he was fasting.

Qais b Sakan reported that al-Ash'ath b. Qais went to 'Abdullah on the day of 'Ashura while he was eating. He said: Abu Muhammad, come near and dine. Upon this he said: I am fasting. Thereupon he said: We used to observe fast and then (this practice) was abandoned.
وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنِي زُبَيْدٌ الْيَامِيُّ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَكَنٍ، أَنَّ الأَشْعَثَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ، دَخَلَ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ وَهُوَ يَأْكُلُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ ادْنُ فَكُلْ ‏.‏ قَالَ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ كُنَّا نَصُومُهُ ثُمَّ تُرِكَ

Observe fast on the Day of Ashurah
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells us that it is important to fast on the day of 'Ashura, which is a special day in Islamic history. It was reported by Qais b Sakan that al-Ash'ath b. Qais went to 'Abdullah and asked him to dine with him, but Abdullah said he was fasting because it was the day of 'Ashura. This shows us that even though some people may have stopped observing this practice, it is still important for Muslims to fast on this special day as a way to remember its significance in Islamic history.
