حدثني محمود، أخبرنا عبيد الله، عن إسرائيل، عن منصور، عن إبراهيم، عن علقمة، عن عبد الله، قال دخل عليه الأشعث وهو يطعم فقال اليوم عاشوراء‏.‏ فقال كان يصام قبل أن ينزل رمضان، فلما نزل رمضان ترك، فادن فكل‏.‏
 Narrated `Abdullah:                     That Al-Ash'ath entered upon him while he was eating. Al-Ash'ath said, "Today is 'Ashura." I said (to him), "Fasting had been observed (on such a day) before (the order of compulsory fasting in) Ramadan was revealed. But when (the order of fasting in) Ramadan was revealed, fasting (on 'Ashura') was given up, so come and eat."
