____________________________________________ As well as fasting on the 10th of Muharram (‘Āshūrā) one should also observe the fast of the 9th or 11th of Muharram to safeguard his deed from resemblance with the non-Muslims who fast only on the 10th Muharram. _____________________________________________ Ibn ‘Abbās radhiyallāhu ‘anhu said, “When Rasūlullāh sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam observed the fast of the day of ‘Āshūrā and ordered (his companions radhiyallāhu ‘anhum) to fast, they said, ‘O Rasūlullāh sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam! It is a day revered by the Jews and Christians.’ Rasūlullāh sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam said, ‘The coming year, if Allāh wills, we will fast on the ninth (also).’” _____________________________________________ (Muslim) _____________________________________________ #islam #muslim #muharram #ashura #significance #reward #10th #allah #prophetmuhammad #october #11 #good #9
