Fasting on ‘Aashura carries the reward for fasting for one year

Is this Hadith authentic?

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“Fasting on the day of ‘Aashura carries the reward of fasting for one year”

Answer

Imam Ibn Hibban (rahimahullah) has recorded this Hadith on the authority of Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (radiyallahu ‘anhu). He has declared the Hadith authentic.

(Sahih Ibn Hibban; Al Ihsan, Hadith: 3631)

Note: One is encouraged to add one more fast to the tenth, either before or after it. See here.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
