حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ حَاجِبِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، قَالَ : " انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَهُوَ مُتَوَسِّدٌ رِدَاءَهُ فِي زَمْزَمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ يَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ أَيُّ يَوْمٍ هُوَ أَصُومُهُ ، قَالَ : " إِذَا رَأَيْتَ هِلَالَ الْمُحَرَّمِ فَاعْدُدْ ثُمَّ أَصْبِحْ مِنَ التَّاسِعِ صَائِمًا " ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : أَهَكَذَا كَانَ يَصُومُهُ مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : " نَعَمْ " .
´Al-Hakam bin Al-Arfaj said:` "I met up with Ibn Abbas while he was reclining on his Rida at the Zamzam (well). So I said: 'Inform me about the Day of Ashura. On which day is it fasted?' He said: 'When you see the crescent of Al-Muharram, then count, then fast on the morning of the ninth day.'" He said: 'I said: Is this how Muhammad fasted it?' He said: 'Yes.'"

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: This hadith proves that passing in front of someone performing prayer is a very grave sin. If a person truly understands the magnitude of this sin, then he would never dare to pass in front of someone praying, even if he has to wait for a long time. Although in some narrations the number mentioned is forty years, and in others, one hundred years.

Benefits and Issues:
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not actually fast on the ninth (of Muharram), but his intention was indeed to do so.
Based on this, Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) stated that Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to do so.
And what is required is also this: that one should fast on the ninth and tenth, or the tenth and eleventh.
