أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ
أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ كَانَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَلَمَّا نَزَلُوا وَوُضِعَتِ السَّفَرَةُ بَعَثُوا إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَقَالَ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ فَلَمَّا كَادُوا أَنْ يَفْرُغُوا جَاءَ فَجَعَلَ يَأْكُلُ فَنَظَرَ الْقَوْمُ إِلَى رَسُولِهِمْ فَقَالَ مَا تَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيَّ قَدْ وَاللَّهِ

✧ Abu Hurayrah was on a journey. When they stopped and the food was laid out, they sent for him while he was praying. He said, "I am fasting." When they had almost finished, he came and began to eat. The people looked at their messenger, and he said, "Why are you looking at me? By Allah, he had [said he was fasting]."
Notes
أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ صَائِمٌ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ صَدَقَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ صَامَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ فَقَدْ صَامَ الشَّهْرَ كُلَّهُ» وَقَدْ صُمْتُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ وَإِنِّي الشَّهْرَ كُلَّهُ صَائِمٌ وَوَجَدْتُ تَصْدِيقَ ذَلِكَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا {مَنْ جَاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِهَا}
machine translationHe informed me that he was fasting, and Abū Hurayrah said: He spoke the truth. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Whoever fasts three days of every month has fasted the whole month." And I have fasted three days of every month, so I am fasting the whole month. And I found the confirmation of that in the Book of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: {مَنْ جَاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِهَا}
