حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ (١) عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ دَارَهُ، فَسَأَلَنِي، وَهُوَ يَظُنُّ أَنِّي مِنْ بَنِي أُمِّ كُلْثُومٍ ابْنَةِ عُقْبَةَ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنَّمَا أَنَا لِلْكَلْبِيَّةِ ابْنَةِ الْأَصْبَغِ، وَقَدْ جِئْتُكَ لِأَسْأَلَكَ عَمَّا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَهِدَ إِلَيْكَ أَوْ قَالَ لَكَ؟ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَقُولُ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لَأَقْرَأَنَّ الْقُرْآنَ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ، وَلَأَصُومَنَّ الدَّهْرَ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِّي، فَجَاءَنِي، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ بَيْتِي، فَقَالَ: " أَلَمْ يَبْلُغْنِي يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ أَنَّكَ تَقُولُ: لَأَصُومَنَّ الدَّهْرَ، وَلَأَقْرَأَنَّ الْقُرْآنَ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ؟ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: بَلَى، قد (٢) قُلْتُ ذَاكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، قَالَ: " فَلَا تَفْعَلْ، صُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ "، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَقْوَى عَلَى أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: " فَصُمِ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسَ "، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَقْوَى عَلَى أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، قَالَ: " فَصُمْ يَوْمًا وَأَفْطِرْ يَوْمًا، فَإِنَّهُ أَعْدَلُ الصِّيَامِ عِنْدَ اللهِ، وَهُوَ صِيَامُ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ، وَكَانَ لَا يُخْلِفُ إِذَا وَعَدَ، وَلَا يَفِرُّ إِذَا لَاقَى، وَاقْرَأِ الْقُرْآنَ فِي كُلِّ، ، شَهْرٍ مَرَّةً "، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: إِنِّي لَأَقْوَى عَلَى أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، قَالَ: " فَاقْرَأْهُ فِي كُلِّ نِصْفِ شَهْرٍ مَرَّةً "، قَالَ: قُلْتُ (١) : إِنِّي أَقْوَى عَلَى أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، قَالَ: " فَاقْرَأْهُ فِي كُلِّ سَبْعٍ (٢) لَا تَزِيدَنَّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ "، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ (٣)،
Translation
English translation
Abu Salamah bin Abdur Rahman says that once I went to the service of Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him). He thought that I was the son of Umm Kulthum bint Uqbah, so he asked me about her. I told him that I was the son of Kalbiyah and had come to you to ask what advice the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) had given you. He said: "During the blessed era of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), I used to say that I would complete the entire Qur'an in one day and night and would always fast. When the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) came to know of this, he came to my house and said: 'I have heard that you recite the entire Qur'an in one day? Recite only one Qur'an in a month.' I said, 'I feel I have more strength than that.' The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'Then complete it in seven nights and do not add to that.' After that, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'I have heard that you always fast?' I said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah!' The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'Fast three days in every month.' I said, 'I feel I have more strength than that.' The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'Then fast on Mondays and Thursdays.' I said, 'O Prophet of Allah, I feel I have more strength than that.' The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'Then fast one day and leave one day, like Dawud (peace be upon him). This is the best fast, and he did not break his promise, nor did he flee when facing the enemy.' Then the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) left."
