The Prophet (sws) is reported to have said that if a person fasts on this day then hopefully the Almighty will forgive his previous and next year’s sins. However, while offering the Hajj, the Prophet (sws) did not keep this fast. A probable reason for this is that he did not prefer to add it to the hardship of the Hajj.
