The best fasting after is the month of Muharram, and the best days for fasting in this month are the first ten days, then the day of Ashura, then Tasu'a. It has been reported from the Salaf that they used to revere three tens: the last ten days of Ramadan, the first ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah, and the first ten days of Muharram.
