To do something, as in fasting the day of Arafah and now fasting the day of Aashuraah,

the blessings that we learn from the Prophet ﷺ

and the blessings that are given to us through some of the authentic narrations of the pious predecessors

will not be able to encapsulate some of the things that perhaps we don't even know

about these days and some of the hidden blessings that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

would be Idnillah envelope us in, embrace us in through his infinite mercy subhanahu wa ta'ala.

And so when you talk about the day of Aashuraah and what it is attributed to first and foremost

there's a narration that we find in some of the books of Arafah,

the books where you have narrations of the previous prophets that mention

that this was the day that the Safina of Nuharih is salam.

The arc of Noah finally took its rest on Jabalajudi on the mount.

So after circulating for however long the Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala caused it to circulate

that this would have coincided with the day that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala caused the arc of Nuharih is salam

the Safina of Nuharih is salam to finally settle.

And obviously the significance of that would be that this was a time where you had

those that rebelled and transgressed that were drowned in their disbelief,

including the son of Nuharih's salam who was not spared due to his relationship to Nuharih's salam.

And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala saving the people of belief in an extraordinary way.

And so of course there's a connection of that to what is the authentically narrated Hadith in multiple books

that is the main cause of us fasting this day in Al-Bukhari and Muslim

when the Prophet ﷺ saw the people of the book particularly the Jewish community in Medina fasting this day.
