1734. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbās said: "The Prophet ﷺ came to Al-Madinah, and he found the Jews observing a fast. He said: 'What is this?' They said: 'This is the day when Allāh saved Musa and drowned Pharaoh, so Musa fasted this day in gratitude.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'We have more right to Musa than you do.' So he fasted (that day) and enjoined (others) to fast it also.'" (Sahih)
1734 - حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنِ أَبِي سَهْلٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ، فَوَجَدَ الْيَهُودَ صُيَّامًا، فَقَالَ: «مَا هَذَا؟» قَالُوا: هَذَا يَوْمٌ أَنْجَى اللَّهُ فِيهِ مُوسَى، وَأَغْرَقَ فِيهِ فِرْعَوْنَ، فَصَامَهُ مُوسَى شُكْرًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «نَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِمُوسَى مِنْكُمْ، فَصَامَهُ، وَأَمَرَ بِصِيَامِهِ»

a. 'We have more right to Musa than you' means of the pleasure that Musa ﷺ had because of the destruction of Pharaoh, we also share this pleasure. b. Performing worship to express gratitude to Allāh was also legal in the previous nations; prostration of gratefulness, offering prayer for gratefulness, fasting for gratefulness and giving in charity, are legal in our Shari'ah too.
