Summary
The account is established and authentic, based on the narration recorded by Imam Muslim from Ibn Abbas, with a similar narration in al-Bukhari. In the hadith, the Prophet found the Jews of Madinah fasting on Ashura because Allah saved Musa and drowned Pharaoh, so he fasted and instructed others to fast. The ruling notes that scholars agree fasting on Ashura is recommended and not obligatory.
