IRSYAD AL-HADITH SIRI KE-286: PENISBAHAN HARI ASYURA’ KEPADA PARA ANBIYA’
Is it true that the day of Ashura is linked to the deliverance of several prophets?
Short answer
The long narration linking Ashura to many events of the prophets and the creation of various things is judged unauthentic by scholars such as al-Bayhaqi, Ibn al-Jawzi and al-Suyuti, and this ruling inclines to the same view.

Summary
The long narration linking Ashura to many events of the prophets and the creation of various things is judged unauthentic by scholars such as al-Bayhaqi, Ibn al-Jawzi and al-Suyuti, and this ruling inclines to the same view. The only authentic link is that between the Ashura fast and Prophet Musa's victory over Pharaoh, as in the narration of al-Bukhari from Ibn Abbas. Fasting on Ashura is recommended because the Prophet encouraged it.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, riwayat berkaitan penisbahan puasa Asyura' dengan kisah para rasul adalah tidak sahih melainkan apa yang kami nyatakan di atas iaitu hubungannya dengan kisah Nabi Musa AS.
