حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا نَوْفَلِ بْنَ أَبِي عَقْرَبٍ يَقُولُ
سَأَلَ أَبِي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الصَّوْمِ، فَقَالَ: صُمْ يَوْمًا مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي، زِدْنِي. قَالَ: يَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: زِدْنِي زِدْنِي ! صُمْ يَوْمَيْنِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي زِدْنِي؛ فَإِنِّي أَجِدُنِي قَوِيًّا. قَالَ: يَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: 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

✧ My father asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about fasting, and he said: "Fast one day each month." He said: "O Messenger of Allah, by my father and mother, increase me." He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Increase me, increase me! Fast two days each month." He said: "O Messenger of Allah, by my father and mother, increase me, for I find myself strong." He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "I find myself strong, I find myself strong, I find myself strong!" He said: Then he persisted – meaning he held back – until I thought he would not increase me. He said: Then he said: "Fast three days each month."
