📖 Ibn Abbas RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: The Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam came to Medina and he found the Jews fasting on the day of Ashura. The Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "What is this day that you are fasting?" They said, “This is a great day in which Allah saved Moses ('alaihis salaam) and his people, and he drowned Pharaoh and his people. Moses fasted on it due to gratitude, so we also fast on it.” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "We (Muslims) are more deserving and are closer to Moses (Musa 'alaihis salaam) than you." The Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam fasted the day of Ashura (10th of Muharram) and he commanded fasting on it.
