حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، (١) حَدَّثَنَا الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا نَوْفَلِ بْنَ أَبِي عَقْرَبٍ، يَقُولُ: سَأَلَ أَبِي رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الصَّوْمِ، فَقَالَ: " صُمْ يَوْمًا مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ "، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي، زِدْنِي، قَالَ: يَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " زِدْنِي، زِدْنِي صُمْ يَوْمَيْنِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ "، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي، زِدْنِي، فَإِنِّي أَجِدُنِي قَوِيًّا، قَالَ: يَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنِّي أَجِدُنِي قَوِيًّا، إِنِّي أَجِدُنِي قَوِيًّا، إِنِّي أَجِدُنِي قَوِيًّا " قَالَ: فَأَلْحَمَ، أَيْ: أَمْسَكَ، حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ لَنْ يَزِيدَنِي، قَالَ: ثُمَّ قَالَ: " صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ " (٢)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Aqrab that I asked the Prophet (peace be upon him) about fasting, so the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Keep one fast every month. I said that I have the strength for more than that. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: What is this that you say you have the strength for more than that, the strength for more than that? Keep two fasts every month. I submitted: O Messenger of Allah, please increase it a little more. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: What is this that you say to increase it? Just keep three fasts every month.
