1614. It was narrated from Ḥumaid bin 'Abdur-Raḥmân – that is Ibn 'Awf, that Abû Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'The best fasting after the month of Ramaḍân is the month of Allâh, Al-Muḥarram, and the best prayer after the obligatory prayer is prayer at night.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

1613 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هُوَ ابْنُ عَوْفٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَفْضَلُ الصِّيَامِ بَعْدَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ شَهْرُ اللَّهِ الْمُحَرَّمُ، وَأَفْضَلُ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الْفَرِيضَةِ صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ»

Commentary

The attribution of the month of the inviolable Muharram to Allâh, Most High, was due to the fact that it is the first month of the year and it is the month of inviolability. Its fast means the fast of Ashura. Some people have understood it to mean fast in general.
