وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، ثَنَا فَرَجُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، ثَنَا أَبُو هُبَيْرَةَ، عَنْ صَدَقَةَ قَالَ:
إِنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ، عَنِ الصَّوْمِ، فَقَالَ: إِنْ كُنْتَ تُرِيدُ صِيَامَ خَيْرِ الْبَشَرِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الْأُمِّيِّ الْعَرَبِيِّ الْقُرَشِيِّ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ، فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَصُومُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ وَيَقُولُ: هِيَ صِيَامُ الدَّهْرِ. ﷺ
