It is Sunnah for the Muslim to fast on the first nine days of Dhu’l-Hijjah, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) encouraged us to do righteous deeds in the first ten days of Dhu’l-Hijjah, and fasting is one of the best of deeds, which Allaah has chosen for Himself as it says in the hadeeth qudsi: “Allaah says: ‘All the deeds of the son of Adam are for him, except fasting, which is for Me and I shall reward for it.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1805.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to fast on the first nine days of Dhu’l-Hijjah. It was narrated from Hunaydah ibn Khaalid from his wife, that one of the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to fast on the first nine days of Dhu’l-Hijjah and the day of ‘Ashoora’, and three days each month, the first Monday of the month and two Thursdays. Narrated by al-Nasaa’i, 4/205 and by Abu Dawood; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood, 2/462.

Re: Hadith on fasting in the First Ten Days of Dhu’l-Hijjah
"The Prophet, upon whom be peace, would fast on the ninth of Dhu'l-Hijjah, the day of Ashura and three days in every month." Recorded by Ahmad, Abu Dawud, An-Nisa'i and others Imam An-Nawawi said that fasting in these ten days is extremely recommended.
I remember years ago brothers saying Imam An-Nawawi has no proof.
Then I came across the above hadith last night.
DHU'L-HIJJAH 1437H (2016CE): According to the decision of the High Judiciary Council of Saudi Arabia, the 1st of Dhu'l-Hijjah will be on Saturday 3 September 2016. The Muslims performing Hajj will be in 'Arafah on Sunday 11 September 2016 (9 Dhu'l-Hijjah 1437), and 'Eid ul-'Adha shall be on Monday 12 September 2016 (10 Dhu'l-Hijjah 1437).
