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.
Aliwauliza kwa nini walifanya hivi siku hiyo na wakamwambia kwamba walifanya hivyo kwa sababu ya kwamba Mwenyezi Mungu alimpa Nabii Musa ukombozi kutoka kwa Firauni siku hii, na hivyo wakamtazama Saum kwa ishara ya furaha yao.
