Sunan Abi Dawud 2445 (Book 14, Hadith 133) #22736
Fasting on Ashura and Muharram

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) commanded the companions to fast on the day of Ashura, but when they asked why, he said that they should fast on the 9th of Muharram instead.

Ibn 'Abbas said: When the Prophet on the day of Ashura and commanded us to fast on it, they (ie Companions) said: Messenger of Allah, this is a day which is considered great by Jews and Christians ? The Messenger of Allah said: When the next year comes, we shall fast on the 9th of Muharram. But the next year the Messenger of Allah breathed his last.
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمَهْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، أَنَّ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ الْقُرَشِيَّ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ أَبَا غَطَفَانَ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، يَقُولُ حِينَ صَامَ النَّبِيُّ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ وَأَمَرَنَا بِصِيَامِهِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ يَوْمٌ تُعَظِّمُهُ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ فَإِذَا كَانَ الْعَامُ الْمُقْبِلُ صُمْنَا يَوْمَ التَّاسِعِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَلَمْ يَأْتِ الْعَامُ الْمُقْبِلُ حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ
