وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، ثَنَا أَبُو هِلَالٍ، ثَنَا غَيْلَانُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَعْبَدٍ الزِّمَّانِيُّ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ، قَالَ:
كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، إِذْ أَتَى عَلَى رَجُلٍ، فَقَالُوا: مَا أَفْطَرَ مُنْذُ كَذَا وَكَذَا. فَقَالَ: لَا صَامَ وَلَا أَفْطَرَ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى عُمَرُ ؓ غَضَبَهُ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، صَوْمُ يَوْمَيْنِ وَإِفْطَارُ يَوْمٍ ؟ قَالَ: أَوَ يُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ أَحَدٌ ؟ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَوْمُ يَوْمٍ، وَإِفْطَارُ يَوْمٍ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: ذَاكَ صَوْمُ أَخِي دَاوُدَ، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَوْمُ يَوْمٍ وَإِفْطَارُ يَوْمَيْنِ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: وَمَنْ يُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، صَوْمُ يَوْمِ الِاثْنَيْنِ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: ذَاكَ يَوْمٌ وُلِدْتُ فِيهِ، وَيَوْمٌ أُنْزِلَ عَلَيَّ فِيهِ النُّبُوَّةُ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، صَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ، وَيَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: أَحَدُهُمَا يُكَفِّرُ سَنَةً، وَالْآخَرُ يُكَفِّرُ مَا قَبْلَهَا وَمَا بَعْدَهَا

✧ We were with the Prophet ﷺ when he came upon a man, and they said: 'He has not broken his fast since such and such.' He said: 'He has neither fasted nor broken his fast.' When 'Umar ؓ saw his anger, he said: 'O Messenger of God, fasting two days and breaking the fast one day?' He said: 'Can anyone bear that?' He said: 'O Messenger of God, fasting one day and breaking the fast one day?' He ﷺ said: 'That is the fast of my brother Dawud.' He said: 'O Messenger of God, fasting one day and breaking the fast two days?' He ﷺ said: 'And who can bear that?' He said: 'O Messenger of God, fasting Monday?' He ﷺ said: 'That is the day I was born and the day prophethood was sent down upon me.' He said: 'O Messenger of God, fasting the day of 'Arafa and the day of 'Ashura'?' He ﷺ said: 'One of them expiates a year, and the other expiates what is before it and what is after it.'
