Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
Fasting on the ninth of Muharram means that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) intended to fast on the ninth along with the tenth of Muharram, so that there would be a distinction from the People of the Book, and also to attain the reward of fasting on the most virtuous day.
➋
The narrator stated that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) intended to fast on the ninth, and this was so that the fast of the tenth would not be missed; this ruling is also possible, but the first reason is more likely.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: Since the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had expressed the desire to fast on the ninth, this is why Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) stated that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to fast on the ninth.
