.Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu Ansaar - 5th Muharram 1426 (15 February 2005)
Narrated by Ibn Abbas (Radhiallaho anho): When the Prophet (sallallaahu'alaihi wasallam) arrived at Medina he found that the Jews observed fast on the day of ' Ashura'. They were asked the reason for the fast. They replied, "This is the day when Allah Caused Moses and the children of Israel to have victory over Pharaoh, so we fast on this day as a sign of glorifying it." Allah's Messenger said, "We are closer to Moses than you." Then he ordered that fasting on this day should be observed.
