REVIVE A SUNNAH "FASTING ON THE 9th (NINTH) DAY OF DHU'L-HIJJAH"

REVIVE A SUNNAH "FASTING ON THE 9th (NINTH) DAY OF DHU'L-HIJJAH"

Tomorrow would be the 9th (ninth) day of Dhu'l-Hijjah, the day of Arafat. Fasting on the day of ‘Arafah is a confirmed Sunnah for those who are not performing Hajj.

It was narrated from Abu Qataadah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was asked about fasting on the day of ‘Arafah and he said: “It expiates for the past and coming years.” [Narrated by Muslim (1162)]

According to another report: “I ask Allaah that it may expiate for (the sins of) the year that comes before it and the year that comes after it.”

The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) urged us to do good deeds during this time, and fasting is one of the best of deeds.

Allaah has chosen fasting for Himself, as is stated in the hadeeth qudsi: "Allaah says: ‘All the deeds of the son of Adam are for him, except for fasting, which is for Me and I am the One Who will reward him for it.’" [Reported by al-Bukhaari, 1805]

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to fast on the ninth of Dhu’l-Hijjah.

Hunaydah ibn Khaalid reported from his wife that some of the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to fast on the ninth of Dhu’l-Hijjah, on the day of ‘Aashooraa’, on three days of each month, and on the first two Mondays and Thursdays of each month."

[Reported by al-Nisaa’i, 4/205 and by Abu Dawud; classified by al-Albaani as saheeh in Saheeh Abi Dawud, 2/462].
