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.
