There is no authentic hadith specifying the virtue of fasting the ninth and tenth days of Muharram. What is established regarding the virtue of fasting the Day of Ashura is that it expiates the sins of the past year. There is no authentic hadith regarding the virtue of fasting the first ten days of Muharram as a whole.
