The day of 'Ashura' was considered as ʿId day by the Jews. So the Prophet ﷺ ordered, "I recommend you (Muslims) to fast on this day."
كَانَ يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ تَعُدُّهُ الْيَهُودُ عِيدًا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَصُومُوهُ أَنْتُمْ
The day of 'Ashura was one which the Jews respected and they treated it as Id. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: You also observe fast on this day.
كَانَ يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ يَوْمًا تُعَظِّمُهُ الْيَهُودُ وَتَتَّخِذُهُ عِيدًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صُومُوهُ أَنْتُمْ
The day of 'Ashura was one which the Jews respected and they treated it as Id. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: You also observe fast on this day. (Using translation from Muslim 1131a)
كَانَ يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ يَوْمًا تَصُومُهُ الْيَهُودُ تَتَّخِذُهُ عِيدًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صُومُوهُ أَنْتُمْ
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِصِيَامِ يَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ إِذْ الْيَهُودُ كَانَتْ تَتَّخِذُهُ عِيدًا فَلَا تَصُومُهُ
[AI] The Jews used to consider the day of Ashura as a holiday, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Oppose them, and fast on that day yourselves."
كَانَتْ يَهُودُ تَتَّخِذُ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ عِيدًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «خَالِفُوهُمْ صُومُوا أَنْتُمْ»
[AI] It was the Day of Ashura, a day that the Jews used to fast and consider it a holiday. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Medina, he was informed of this. He said, "So fast on this day, you (Muslims) should fast it." Raqabah disagreed with him.
كَانَ يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ يَوْمًا تَصُومُهُ الْيَهُودُ وَتَتَّخِذُهُ عِيدًا فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ أُخْبِرَ بِذَلِكَ قَالَ «فَصُومُوهُ أَنْتُمْ» خَالَفَهُ رَقَبَةُ
