Summary
This Bayan Linnas states that 10 Muharram has many virtues based on authentic hadith. These include being a day whose merit the Prophet sought out, the day Prophet Moses was saved, a fast that expiates the sins of the previous year, and, in one narration, the day Adam's repentance was accepted. It also mentions facts such as the killing of al-Husayn in 61 AH, stressing that grief must rest on sound creed. The story of Ashura porridge linked to Prophet Noah appears in several books but is said to require thorough study.
