Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُخَيْمِرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ قَيْسَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ عَنْ صَدَقَةِ الْفِطْرِ فَقَالَ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْزِلَ الزَّكَاةُ ثُمَّ نَزَلَتْ الزَّكَاةُ فَلَمْ نُنْهَ عَنْهَا وَلَمْ نُؤْمَرْ بِهَا وَنَحْنُ نَفْعَلُهُ وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ فَقَالَ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ رَمَضَانُ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ فَلَمْ نُؤْمَرْ بِهِ وَلَمْ نُنْهَ عَنْهُ وَنَحْنُ نَفْعَلُهُ.
English Translation
Yazid ibn Harun narrated to us: Sufyan al-Thawri informed us from Salamah ibn Kuhayl from al-Qasim ibn Mukhaymirah from Abu Ammar, he said: I asked Qays ibn Sa'd about the charity of Fitr, and he said: "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded us to give it before Zakat was revealed; then Zakat was revealed, and we were neither forbidden from it nor commanded to do it, yet we continued to do it." And I asked him about the fast of Ashura, and he said: "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded us to fast it before Ramadan was revealed; then Ramadan was revealed, and we were neither commanded to fast it nor forbidden from it, yet we continued to do it."
