قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ صَامَ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ فَذَلِكَ صَوْمُ الدَّهْرِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ تَصْدِيقَ ذَلِكَ فِي كِتَابِهِ {مَنْ جَاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِهَا} فَالْيَوْمُ بِعَشْرَةِ أَيَّامٍ

- Abū Dhar
“Whoever fasts three days in every month, that is fasting for a lifetime.” Then, in testimony of that, Allah revealed: “Whoever brings a good deed shall have ten time the like thereof to his credit.” [6:160] So one day is equivalent to ten (in reward).

- Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī
حديث أبي ذر أشبه لأنه يروى هذا الكلام عن أبي ذر بإسناد آخر وثابت أحفظ من عاصم
machine translationThe hadith of Abū Dharr is closer to being correct, because this statement is narrated from Abū Dharr through another chain of transmission, and Thābit is a better memorizer (aḥfaẓ) than ʿĀṣim.
