Enumerating The Blessings Of Allah, And Giving The Necessary Thanks For Them
by Imam Al-Bayhaqi

Allah Most High has said: Say: Praised be Allah! [27:59] and: If you would count the blessings of Allah you would not be able to reckon them, [14:34] and: Of the blessings of your Lord, speak out, [93:11] and: Remember Me, and I will remember you, give thanks to Me, and reject Me not, [2:152] together with other verses concerning Allah’s gifts to His slaves, and His reminding them thereof.

The Jews used to fast on the day of 'Ashoora (10th day of Muharram) because that is the day Prophet Musa (AS) fasted on out of gratitude to Allah for having saved him and the tribes of Israel from the Pharoah. But when Prophet Muhammed saw this, he said, "We have more of a right to Musa than you," and fasted on that day also and ordered the Muslims to do so as well. [Reported in Bukhari and Muslim]

Prophet Muhammed also said, "When the following year comes, Allah willing, we shall fast both the ninth and tenth day of Muharram (that is to be different from the Jews and the Christians)." [Reported in Muslim]

To this day, Muslims fast on 'Ashoora and on the 9th or 11th of Muharram as well to observe this Sunnah.
