Summary

Malik transmits from Ibn Shihab, from Humayd ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf (may God be pleased with him), that he heard Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan on the pulpit on the day of Ashura in the year he performed the pilgrimage, saying: people of Medina, where are your scholars? I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say of this day: this is the day of Ashura, and God did not make its fasting obligatory for you, but I am fasting, so whoever wishes may fast and whoever wishes may break the fast. The editor notes that Abu Musab and Suwayd transmitted it from Malik, and that Abu Musab and Malik make it part of the Musnad of Aisha and others. 1

Al-Ash'ath ibn Qays comes with the delegation of Kinda

Al-Ash'ath ibn Qays came with Kinda's delegation, eighty riders according to al-Zuhri, who entered the mosque with combed locks and kohl, wearing Hira robes edged with silk; the Prophet asked whether they had not become Muslims, and what the silk on their necks was, and they tore it off. Al-Ash'ath said, we are Banu Akil al-Murar and you are Ibn Akil al-Murar; the Prophet laughed, attributed that lineage-claim to al-Abbas and Rabi'a ibn al-Harith who used it for prestige as merchants, and said: no, we are Banu al-Nadr ibn Kinana, we do not trace ourselves through our mother nor disown our father.
