It is strange that the Prophet would make it a day of celebrations when later on his own grandson w, as to be killed along with all his male family members and women of Prophet’s own family enslaved.
Hussain, son of Ali and Fatima, a member of ahle bait, whom he called ‘sayyed a shabab e jannat’.

So what is this rejoicing about?

Peace khoji,

Nothing is strange here and i guess you are just confused. The Prophet ordered us to fast on these days a very long time ago. The death of Imam Hussain r.a. occured some 67 years after from the death of Prophet What He ordered was at that time which nothing have to do with the death of Imam Hussain r.a., We do not fast on these days as celebration but we follow what Prophet ordered us to do.
