Sahih al-Bukhari 1960 (Book 30, Hadith 67) #1880
Fasting on 'Ashura' Day

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) sent a messenger to the village of the Ansar on the day of 'Ashura' to remind them to complete their fast if they had already eaten something, and also encouraged them to make their children fast.

Narrated Ar-Rubi' bint Mu'awadh: "The Prophet sent a messenger to the village of the Ansar in the morning of the day of 'Ashura' (10th of Muharram) to announce: 'Whoever has eaten something should not eat but complete the fast, and whoever is observing the fast should complete it'. "She further said, "Since then we used to fast on that day regularly and also make our boys fast. We used to make toys of wool for the boys and if anyone of them cried for, he was given those toys till it was the time of the breaking of the fast".
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ ذَكْوَانَ، عَنِ الرُّبَيِّعِ بِنْتِ مُعَوِّذٍ، قَالَتْ أَرْسَلَ النَّبِيُّ غَدَاةَ عَاشُورَاءَ إِلَى قُرَى الأَنْصَارِ ‏ "‏ مَنْ أَصْبَحَ مُفْطِرًا فَلْيُتِمَّ بَقِيَّةَ يَوْمِهِ، وَمَنْ أَصْبَحَ صَائِمًا فَلْيَصُمْ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَتْ فَكُنَّا نَصُومُهُ بَعْدُ، وَنُصَوِّمُ صِبْيَانَنَا، وَنَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ اللُّعْبَةَ مِنَ الْعِهْنِ، فَإِذَا بَكَى أَحَدُهُمْ عَلَى الطَّعَامِ أَعْطَيْنَاهُ ذَاكَ، حَتَّى يَكُونَ عِنْدَ الإِفْطَارِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
On the day of 'Ashura', which is the 10th day of Muharram, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ sent a messenger to remind people in his village that those who had already eaten something should complete their fast, and those who were observing it should continue fasting. He also encouraged parents to make their children fast as well. To help ease any discomfort or hunger that young children may have felt during this time, parents would give them toys made out of wool as a distraction until it was time for breaking the fast. This hadith teaches us about how important it is for Muslims to observe fasting on this special day and encourages us all - adults and children alike -to take part in this act of worship together.
