Sahih al-Bukhari 4303 (Book 65, Hadith 31)
and the Prophet (ﷺ) himself used to observe fasting on it too. But when he came to Medina, he fasted on
that day and ordered the Muslims to fast on it. When (the order of compulsory fasting in ) Ramadan
was revealed, fasting in Ramadan became an obligation, and fasting on ‘Ashura’ was given up, and
who ever wished to fast (on it) did so, and whoever did not wish to fast on it, did not fast.
