Ashoora Hadith

Narrated Ibn Abbas: When the Prophet arrived at Medina the Jews were observing the fast on ‘Ashura’ (10th of Muharram) and they said. “This is the day when Moses became victorious over Pharaoh.” On that the Prophet said to his companions. “You (Muslims) have more right to celebrate Moses’ victory than they have so observe the fast on this day.” Volume 6.
