Below are narrations which shows it was abandoned
Sahih Muslim .No 2510
> Abd al-Rahman b. Yazid said: When al-Ash'ath b. Qais entered the house
> of 'Abdullah he was having his breakfast. He ('Abdullah b. Umar) said:
> Abd Muhammad (al-Asha'th), come near to the breakfast. Thereupon he
> said: Is not today the day of 'Ashura? He ('Abd al-Rahman) said: Do
> you know what the day of 'Ashura is? He said: What is it? He said: It
> is a day on which the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa
> sallam) used to observe fast before the (fasting) in the month of
> Ramadan (became) obligatory. But when it became obligatory the
> (fasting of 'Ashura) was abandoned (as compulsory). Abu Kuraib said:
> He (the Prophet) abandoned it.
Sahih Muslim .No 2511
> This hadith has been narrated from Jarir on the authority of A'mash
> with the same chain of transmitters and he said (these words with a
> little bit of variation from the previous hadith): When (fasting) in

Sahih Muslim No 2512
> Qais b Sakan reported that al-Ash'ath b. Qais went to 'Abdullah on the

Sahih Muslim 2514
> Jabir b Samura reported that the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu
> alayhi wa sallam) commanded us to observe fast on the day of Ashura
> and exhorted us to do it and was particular about it But when

Sahih Bukhari: vol 3 . book 31 hadith 116 :
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
> The Prophet observed the fast on the 10th of Muharram ('Ashura), and
> ordered (Muslims) to fast on that day, but when the fasting of the
> month of Ramadan was prescribed, the fasting of the 'Ashura' was
> abandoned. 'Abdullah did not use to fast on that day unless it
> coincided with his routine fasting by chance.
If it is abandoned why Muslims still fast those days?
