Hadhrat Rubayyi bint Mu’awwidh Radhi-Allâhu ‘anha reports that on the morning of the day of Âshura, Rasulullâh Sallallâhu ‘alayhi wasallam had an announcement made in all the quarters of the Ansâr that whoever had already eaten or drunk anything should complete the day (without eating and drinking) and whoever had not yet had anything to eat or drink should fast for the day. She reports further that they all fasted and also made their children fast. Whenever their children cried for food, they distracted them with woollen toys until sunset Bukhari Vol. 1 Pg. 263.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to be very keen to make sure he fasted on the day of ‘Ashoora’ because of its great status. It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: I never saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) so keen to make sure he fasted any day and preferring it over another except this day, the day of ‘Ashoora’, and this month – meaning Ramadaan. al-Bukhaari, 1867.
