أَنَّهُ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ فَعَادَ إِلَيْهِ بَعْدَ سَنَةٍ. وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي مُوسَى: فَأَتَاهُ بَعْدَ سَنَةٍ وَقَدْ تَغَيَّرَتْ حَالُهُ وَهَيْئَتُهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَمَا تَعْرِفُنِي ؟ قَالَ: " وَمَنْ أَنْتَ ؟ "، قَالَ: أَنَا الْبَاهِلِيُّ الَّذِي جِئْتُكَ عَامَ أَوَّلَ قَالَ: " فَمَا غَيَّرَكَ وَقَدْ كُنْتَ حَسَنَ الْهَيْئَةِ "، قَالَ: مَا أَكَلْتُ طَعَامًا مُنْذُ فَارَقْتُكَ إِلَّا بِلَيْلٍ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " وَلِمَ عَذَّبْتَ نَفْسَكَ ؟ صُمْ شَهْرَ الصَّبْرِ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ يَوْمًا، قَالَ: زِدْنِي؛ فَإِنَّ بِي قُوَّةً قَالَ: " صُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ يَوْمَيْنِ "، قَالَ: زِدْنِي؛ فَإِنَّ بِي قُوَّةً قَالَ: " صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ ". زَادَ عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ: " مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ "، قَالَ: زِدْنِي؛ فَإِنَّ بِي قُوَّةً قَالَ: " صُمْ مِنَ الْحُرُمِ وَاتْرُكْ ". يَقُولُهَا ثَلَاثًا. وَفِي رِوَايَةِ مُوسَى قَالَ: زِدْنِي، قَالَ: " صُمْ مِنَ الْحُرُمِ وَاتْرُكْ. صُمْ مِنَ الْحُرُمِ وَاتْرُكْ. صُمْ مِنَ الْحُرُمِ وَاتْرُكْ ". وَقَالَ بِأَصَابِعِهِ الثَّلَاثِ فَضَمَّهَا، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَهَا

That he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then went away, and returned to him after a year. In the narration of Abū Mūsā: He came to him after a year, and his condition and appearance had changed, and he said: "O Messenger of Allah, do you not recognize me?" He said: "And who are you?" He said: "I am al-Bāhilī, who came to you the year before." He said: "What has changed you, when you used to have a good appearance?" He said: "I have not eaten any food since I left you except at night." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Why did you punish yourself? Fast the month of patience, and one day of every month." He said: "Increase it for me, for I have strength." He said: "Fast two days of every month." He said: "Increase it for me, for I have strength." He said: "Fast three days." ʿAbd al-Wāḥid added: "of every month." He said: "Increase it for me, for I have strength." He said: "Fast from the sacred months and leave off." He said it three times. In the narration of Mūsā he said: "Increase it for me." He said: "Fast from the sacred months and leave off. Fast from the sacred months and leave off. Fast from the sacred months and leave off." And he indicated with his three fingers, joining them together, then releasing them.
