So he took into account the sanctity of the day because of the secret that God has in it that raises His bounty upon His servants, and the virtue of abstaining from food and drink is evident here, even if one is not fasting, which is the hunger that Sufis refer to in their speech, and I say about it

I am hungry and I do not fast, for my soul *** is disputing with me over the reward for fasting.

If I had had enough of its reward, we would have said *** By obligating fasting and performing prayers

And when he ordered it to be made up, he emphasized its likeness to Ramadan, not to a specific vow. If the day of a vow passes, it is not made up for, even if the one who made it held the rest of his day if he did not spend the night, and when he commanded us to fast it and he urged us to do so, he had commanded us to differ from the People of the Book, the Jews and Christians, and that is in what they legislated for themselves, which God did not permit and they changed it.

On the believers from the people of Moses, peace be upon him. When he, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, commanded us to differ from the Jews, he commanded us to fast the day before Ashura, which is the ninth, and the day after it, which is the eleventh.
