حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : " مَا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَحَرَّى صِيَامَ يَوْمٍ فَضَّلَهُ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ ، إِلَّا هَذَا الْيَوْمَ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ ، وَهَذَا الشَّهْرَ يَعْنِي شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ " .
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: I never saw the Prophet seeking to fast on a day more (preferable to him) than this day, the day of 'Ashura', or this month, i.e. the month of Ramadan.

Benefit:
From this hadith, it is understood that the fasts of Ramadan and Ashura (the ninth day of Muharram) possess great virtue. Apart from these, all other days are equal in terms of fasting. If someone wishes, they may observe the fast of Dawud (صوم داؤدی) — that is, fasting one day and breaking the fast the next — or they may keep the fasts of Ayyam al-Beedh (ایام بیض), which are the fasts on the 13th, 14th, and 15th of each lunar month.
