Tafseer of Ayat 176 to 180. The Companions of the Wood rejected the messengers of Allah. Behold, Shuaib PBUH said to them: "Will ye not fear ((Allah))? and cheat, loot and kill innocent passerby if do not give up soon torment will hit you, trust me "I am to you a messenger worthy of all trust. "So fear Allah and obey me. "No reward do I ask of you for it: my reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds.

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) observed Saum (fasting) on the day of `Ashura' 10th of Muharam and commanded us to fast on this day. [Al-Bukhari & Muslim] 

Lesson : Ashura' 10th of Muharram. In another Hadith, it is stated that when the Prophet  (PBUH) emigrated from Makkah to Al-Madinah, he saw that the Jews were fasting on this day. He asked them why they did this on that day, and they told him that they did it for the reason that Allah granted Prophet Musa emancipation from Pharaoh on this day, and so they observed Saum in token of their joy. On this, he  (PBUH) said that in this happiness of Prophet Musa, Muslims have a greater right to observe Saum than the Jews. Consequently, he also observed Saum on 10th of Muharram. Then, he said that if he lived the following year, he would observe Saum on 9th of Muharram also so that they would make themselves different from the Jews. According to another Hadith, he  (PBUH) ordained the Muslims to observe Saum on `Ashura' and in addition one more Saum on 9th or 11th of Muharram in opposition to the Jews.
