Sahih Muslim Book - 13, Hadith - 2670

وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْشَرٍ الْعَطَّارُ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ ذَكْوَانَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ الرُّبَيِّعَ بِنْتَ مُعَوِّذٍ عَنْ صَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ قَالَتْ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- رُسُلَهُ فِى قُرَى الأَنْصَارِ. فَذَكَرَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ بِشْرٍ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَنَصْنَعُ لَهُمُ اللُّعْبَةَ مِنَ الْعِهْنِ فَنَذْهَبُ بِهِ مَعَنَا فَإِذَا سَأَلُونَا الطَّعَامَ أَعْطَيْنَاهُمُ اللُّعْبَةَ تُلْهِيهِمْ حَتَّى يُتِمُّوا صَوْمَهُمْ.

It was narrated that Khalid bin Dhakwan said: “I asked Ar-Rubayy bint Muawwidh about fasting on Ashura and she said: “The Messenger of Allah sent his envoys to the villages of the Ansar...” and he mentioned a Hadith similar to that of Bishr (no. 2669), except that he said: “And we would make them a toy out of wool, and take it with us, and if they asked us for food, we would give them the toy to play with, until they completed their fast.”
