Question:
Regarding the fasting of Ashura, the hadith states:Sahih Muslim 1134b How do we reconcile this hadith with the period during which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained in Madinah? Did he not learn about the Jews’ fasting until one year before his death?
Answer:
No, he knew about the Jews’ fasting, but the revelation regarding this matter did not come to him until later. Allah knows best. Yes.
Regarding the fasting of Ashura, the hadith states:
If I live till the next (year), I would definitely observe fast on the 9th
