Narrated Hadhrat Aisha RA: The people used to fast on Aashura (the tenth day of the month of Muharram) before the fasting of Ramadhan was made obligatory. And on that day the Ka`ba used to be covered with a cover. When Allah made the fasting of the month of Ramadhan compulsory, Allah’s Messenger\u00a0\ufdfa<\/span>\u00a0said, “Whoever wishes to fast (on the day of Aashura) may do so; and whoever wishes to leave it can do so.” [Bukhari – 1592]<\/span><\/p>\n

Thus Rasulullah\u00a0\ufdfa<\/span>\u00a0would observe the fast of Aashura before Nubuwwat as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Narrated Hadhrat Aisha RA: Quraish used to fast on the day of Aashura in the Pre-Islamic period, and Allah’s Messenger\u00a0\ufdfa<\/span>\u00a0too, used to fast on that day. [Bukhari – 2002]<\/span><\/p>\n

Moosa (\u2018alaihis salaam):<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

After migrating to Madeenah Munawwarah, Rasulullah\u00a0\ufdfa<\/span>\u00a0witnessed the Jews of Madeenah Munawwarah fasting on the day of Aashura. When Nabi\u00a0\ufdfa<\/span>\u00a0inquired from them as to the reason for their fasting, they explained that it was on this day that Allah Ta\u2018ala saved Nabi Moosa AS and the Bani Israel (from the tyranny and oppression of Fir\u2018aun) and drowned Fir\u2018aun and his army. So, Nabi Moosa AS observed fast on this day, out of gratitude to Allah Ta\u2018ala. Rasulullah\u00a0\ufdfa<\/span>\u00a0said,<\/span><\/p>\n

Narrated Ibn `Abbas RA: The Prophet\u00a0\ufdfa<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>came to Medina and saw the Jews fasting on the day of Aashura. He asked them about that. They replied, “This is a good day, the day on which Allah rescued Bani Israel from their enemy. So, Moosa fasted this day.” The Prophet\u00a0\ufdfa<\/span>\u00a0said, “We have more claim over Moosa than you.” So, the Prophet\u00a0\ufdfa<\/span>\u00a0fasted on that day and ordered (the Muslims) to fast (on that day). [Bukhari \u2013 2004]<\/span><\/p>\n

Nabi Nooh (\u2018alaihis salaam):<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

In a narration of Musnad Ahmad, the Jews also explained to Rasulullah\u00a0\ufdfa<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>that this was the day on which the ark of Nabi Nooh AS had settled on Mount Judi. Hence, Nabi Nooh AS fasted on it out of gratitude.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gratitude for Favour:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

When a believer achieves something, he does not boast over it and attribute the achievement to himself, rather, he believes it to be a favour of Allah Ta\u2018ala and thus is more grateful and loyal to Him. This was the pattern in the lives of all the Ambiyaa (\u2018alaihimus salaam). The glaring example of this in the life of Rasulullah\u00a0\ufdfa<\/span>\u00a0was the humility that Rasulullah\u00a0\ufdfa<\/span>\u00a0displayed on the occasion of the conquest of Makkah Mukarramah.<\/span><\/p>\n
