Merits
On this blessed day, [Surah al-Dahr](A80) (or al-Insan No. 76) was revealed praising the Ahl al-Bayt (a.s.) for they had observed fasting for three days and given their food to a poor, an orphan, and a captive for three days respectively. All over these three days, they used to break their fasting with water only.
Text and Translation
Imitate the Ahl al-Bayt (a.s.) in their three days of fasting: observe fasting, give alms to the poor and the orphans (especially at the twenty-fifth night of Zilhajj) and do your best to offer food to the needy.
Say [al-Ziyarah al-Jaame’ah](G13) and [Dua al-Mubaahalah](AC21). In the view of some scholars, the twenty-fifth of Zilhajj is the Day of Mubaahalah.
