'Abd-Allaah ibn 'Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When the Messenger of Allah ( ) fasted on the day of 'Ashura and told the people to fast, they said, "O Messenger of Allah, this is a day that is venerated by the Jews and Christians." The Messenger of Allah ( ) said, "Next year, if Allah wills, we will fast on the ninth day." But by the time the following year came, the Messenger of Allah ( ) had passed away.
