The Shi'ah should not eat or drink anything on this day (until late afternoon). This is not a fast and thus should not be kept with the intention of fasting.
اللهم إننا أمسكنا عن المأكول و المشروب حيث كان أهل النبوة في الحروب و الكروب و أما حيث حضر وقت انتقالهم بالشهادة إلى دار البقاء و ظفروا بمراتب الشهداء و السعداء و دخلوا تحت بشارات الآيات بقولك جل جلالك
"O' my God! We stopped eating and drinking since the family of the Prophet were fighting and in grief. But now it is time for their martyrdom and their transfer to the everlasting world having attained ranks of prosperity and martyrdom." They are covered by the glad tidings of the following verses,
You should also recite the following
وَ لا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْواتاً بَلْ أَحْياءٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ يُرْزَقُونَ فَرِحِينَ بِما آتاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ وَ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ بِالَّذِينَ لَمْ يَلْحَقُوا بِهِمْ مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ أَلَّا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
"So (give) glory to God!, when ye reach eventide and when ye rise in the morning; Yea, to Him be praise, in the heavens and on earth; and in the late afternoon and when the day begins to decline. It is He Who brings out the living from the dead, and brings out the dead from the living, and Who gives life to the earth after it is dead: and thus shall ye be brought out (from the dead)
فنحن لهم موافقون فنتناول الطعام الآن حيث إنهم يرزقون في ديار الرضوان مواساة لهم في الإمساك و الإطلاق فاجعل ذلك سببا لعتق الأعناق و اللحاق لهم في درجات الصالحين برحمتك يا أرحم الراحمين.
We agree with them and eat food now that they are being fed in the House of Pleasure to be supportive of them. Let this be a cause of freeing of our necks and joining them in the ranks of the righteous by Your Mercy! 0' the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful!"
