Fasting the nine days of Dhu al-Hijjah and Ashura
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast the nine days of Dhu al-Hijjah, the day of Ashura, and three days of every month: the first Monday of the month, Thursday, meaning also another day. Abu Dawud also narrated it from Musaddad.
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصُومُ تِسْعَ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ، وَيَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ، وَثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ: أَوَّلَ اثْنَيْنِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ، وَالْخَمِيسَ، تَعْنِي: وَيَوْمًا آخَرَ. وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ عَنْ مُسَدَّدٍ.
