Fasting on the day of 9th and 10th of Muharram!

Ibn Abbas (RA) said: When the Prophet (ﷺ) on the day of 'Ashurah and commanded us to fast on it, they (i.e. Companions) said: Messenger of Allah, this is a day which is considered great by Jews and Christians? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: When the next year comes, we shall fast on the 9th of Muharram. But the next year the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) breathed his last.

(Sunan Abi Dawud 2445, Book 14, Hadith 133)

ʿAbdullah b. Hishām (raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhu) said: “The companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to learn this supplication when the month or the year began, just as they would learn the Qur’ān.” - Muʿjam al-Ṣaḥābah by al-Baghawī
