Subject: Virtues of Fasting on Ashoora !!
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Fasting the day of 'Arafah I hope Allaah will expiate (sins) thereby for the year before it and the year after it, and fasting the day of 'Ashoora' I hope Allaah will expiate (sins) thereby for the year that came before it." Narrated by Muslim, 1162.
The expiation of sins that is achieved by fasting 'Ashoora' refers to minor sins; with regard to major sins, they need separate repentance.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to be very keen to make sure he fasted on the day of 'Ashoora' (10th of Muharram) because of its great status. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: I never saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) so keen to make sure he fasted any day and preferring it over another except this day, the day of 'Ashoora', and this month – meaning Ramadaan. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1867.
With regard to the reason why the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) fasted on the day of 'Ashoora' and urged the people to do likewise is mentioned in the hadeeth narrated by al-Bukhaari (1865) from Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him), who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came to Madeenah and saw the Jews fasting on the day of 'Ashoora'. He said, "What is this?" They said, "This is a good day, this is the day when Allaah saved the Children of Israel from their enemy and Moosa fasted on this day." He said, "We are closer to Moosa than you." So he fasted on this day and told the people to fast.
It is Sunnah to fast the day before or the day after along with 'Aashoora', in order to be different from the Jews.
