755. Ibn 'Abbās narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ ordered fasting the tenth day for the Day of 'Āshūrā'." (Ḍa'if) Abū 'Eisā said: The Ḥadīth of Ibn 'Abbās is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Ḥadīth. The people of knowledge differ over the Day of ‘Ashūrā, some of them said it is the ninth day, some of them said it is the tenth day. It has been reported that Ibn ‘Abbās said: “Fast the ninth and the tenth, and differ from the Jews.” Ash-Shāfi‘ī, Aḥmad and Ishāq followed this Ḥadīth.
٧٥٥ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: «أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِصَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ يَوْمَ عَاشِرٍ». حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَاخْتَلَفَ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ فِي يَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ؛ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: يَوْمُ التَّاسِعِ، وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: يَوْمُ الْعَاشِرِ. وَرُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: صُومُوا التَّاسِعَ وَالْعَاشِرَ، وَخَالِفُوا الْيَهُودَ. وَبِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ يَقُولُ الشَّافِعِيُّ وَأَحْمَدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ.

This Ḥadīth gives two possible meanings: 1. Next year we shall fast the 9th of Muharram instead 10th. 2. We shall fast 10th of Muharram along with the 9th of Muharram as well in the following year in order to make a distinction and difference between our practice and that of Jews and the resemblance will get eliminated. The second meaning gets precedence due to a narration of Musnad Aḥmad.
