_Today Being 9th of Muharram, Endeavour to fast If are Able to Fast_
*🌹Fasting the day of Ashoora*
_⚜ The Prophet (ṣall Allahu ʿalayhi wa-’ālihi wa-sallam) came to al-Madīnah and saw the Jews fasting on the day of ʿĀshūrā._
He asked, *‘What is this?’*
They responded, *‘This is a virtuous day, as this is the day when Allāh saved the Children of Isrā’īl from their enemy. Thus, Mūsá fasted on this day.’*
He said, *‘We have more right to Mūsá than you.’ (or we are closer to Musa than you because Musa was a Muslim and we are Muslim)*
*So he (ṣall Allahu ʿalayhi wa-’ālihi wa-sallam) fasted on this day and ordered the (people) to fast.*
📚 [Ibn ʿAbbās (RaḍiyAllāhu ʿanhu), Sahīh Bukharī, (No. 2004)]
_⚜ Abū Qatadah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet (ṣall Allahu ʿalayhi wa-’ālihi wa-sallam) was asked about ʿĀshūrā and he responded:_
*It expiates (sins) for the previous year.*
📚 [Sahīh Muslim, (No. 1162)]
⚜ The Prophet (ṣall Allahu ʿalayhi wa-’ālihi wa-sallam) said:
*Whoever wishes may observe Saum (fast) on the day of ‘Ashura’.*
📚 [Sahīh Bukhari, (No. 2000) | Translated By Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan (رحمه الله)]
⚜ Ibn ʿAbbās (radiyAllāhu ‘anhu) said:
*I never saw the Prophet (ṣall Allahu ʿalayhi wa-’ālihi wa-sallam) seeking to fast a day, giving it preference over another, except this day, the day of ʿĀshūrā, and this month, meaning the month of Ramaḍān.*
📚 [Sahīh Bukharī, (no. 2006)]
_⚜ From Ibn ʿAbbās (raḍiyAllāhu ‘anh) that he said concerning ʿĀshūrā:_
*Oppose the Jews and fast the 9th and the 10th.*
