When he migrated to Madeenah, he found the Jews >celebrating this day, so he asked them why, and they replied as >described in the hadeeth quoted above. He commanded the Muslims to be >different from the Jews, who took it as a festival, as was reported in >the hadeeth of Abu Moosa (may Allaah be pleased with him), who said: >?The Jews used to take the day of ?Aashooraa? as a festival [according >to a report narrated by Muslim: the day of ?Aashooraa? was venerated >by the Jews, who took it as a festival. According to another report >also narrated by Muslim: the people of Khaybar (the Jews) used to take >it as a festival and their women would wear their jewellery and >symbols on that day]. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be >upon him) said: ?So you [Muslims] should fast on that day.?? (Reported >by al-Bukhaari). Apparently the motive for commanding the Muslims to >fast on this day was the desire to be different from the Jews, so that >the Muslims would fast when the Jews did not, because people do not >fast on a day of celebration. (Summarized from the words of al-Haafiz >Ibn Hajar ? may Allaah have mercy on him ? in Fath al-Baari Sharh ?ala >Saheeh al-Bukhaari). > >Fasting on ?Aashooraa? was a gradual step in the process of >introducing fasting as a prescribed obligation in Islam. Fasting >appeared in three forms. When the Messenger of Allaah (peace and >blessings of Allaah be upon him) came to Madeenah, he told the Muslims >to fast on three days of every month and on the day of ?Aashooraa?, >then Allaah made fasting obligatory when He said (interpretation of >the meaning): ?? observing the fasting is prescribed for you?? >[al-Baqarah 2:183] (Ahkaam al-Qur?aan by al-Jassas, part 1). > >The obligation was transferred from the fast of ?Aashooraa? to the >fast of Ramadaan, and this one of the proofs in the field of Usool >al-Fiqh that it is possible to abrogate a lighter duty in favour of a >heavier duty. > >Before the obligation of fasting ?Aashooraa? was abrogated, fasting on >this day was obligatory, as can be seen from the clear command to >observe this fast. Then it was further confirmed later on, then >reaffirmed by making it a general command addressed to everybody, and >once again by instructing mothers not to breastfeed their infants >during this fast. It was reported from Ibn Mas?ood that when fasting >Ramadaan was made obligatory, the obligation to fast ?Aashooraa? was >lifted, i.e., it was no longer obligatory to fast on this day, but it >is still desirable (mustahabb). > >The virtues of fasting ?Aashooraa? > >Ibn ?Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with them both) said: ?I never saw >the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) so >keen to fast any day and give it priority over any other than this >day, the day of ?Aashooraa?, and this month, meaning Ramadaan.? >(Reported by al-Bukhaari, 1867). > >The meaning of his being keen was that he intended to fast on that day >in the hope of earning the reward for doing so. > >The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ?For >fasting the day of ?Aashooraa?, I hope that Allaah will accept it as >expiation for the year that went before.?

Among those deceived people may be one who thinks that his good >deeds are more than his sins, because he does not pay attention to his >bad deeds or check on his sins, but if he does a good deed he >remembers it and relies on it. This is like the one who seeks Allaah?s >forgiveness with his tongue (i.e., by words only), and glorifies >Allaah by saying ?Subhaan Allaah? one hundred times a day, then he >backbites about the Muslims and slanders their honour, and speaks all >day long about things that are not pleasing to Allaah. This person is >always thinking about the virtues of his tasbeehaat (saying ?Subhaan >Allaah?) and tahleelaat (saying ?Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah?) but he pays >no attention to what has been reported concerning those who backbite, >tell lies and slander others, or commit other sins of the tongue.

The Hanbalis said that it is haraam to observe >a voluntary fast before making up any fasts missed in Ramadaan, and >that a voluntary fast in such cases does not count, even if there is >plenty of time to make up the obligatory fast.
