The first day the Prophet, may God's prayers and peace be upon him, fasted in was a Wednesday, as the fasting of Ramadan was mandated in the second year of the Hijra. The Prophet fasted nine Ramadans. The Battle of Badr occurred on the seventeenth of Ramadan, a Friday, which indicates that the first Ramadan began on a Wednesday. Knowing this specific day holds no particular significance and no ruling is based upon it.
