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 > Ramadan was (made) obligatory, he aban- doned it (the practice of > observing fast on Ashura). Sahih Muslim No 2512 > Qais b Sakan reported that al-Ash'ath b. Qais went to 'Abdullah on the > day of 'Ashura while he was eating. He said: Abu Muhammad, come near > and dine. Upon this he said: I am fasting. Thereupon he said: We used > to observe fast and then (this practice) was abandoned. 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 > (fasting) in Ramadan was made obligatory, he hence. forth neither > commanded us nor forbade us, nor was he so particular about it 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?
