حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ غَيْلاَنَ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَعْبَدٍ الزِّمَّانِيَّ عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ ؓ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سُئِلَ عَنْ صَوْمِهِ، قَالَ: فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ: رَضِينَا بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا وَبِالإِسْلاَمِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولاً وَبِبَيْعَتِنَا بَيْعَةً. قَالَ: فَسُئِلَ عَنْ صِيَامِ الدَّهْرِ، فَقَالَ: «لاَ صَامَ وَلاَ أَفْطَرَ، أَوْ مَا صَامَ وَمَا أَفْطَرَ.» قَالَ: فَسُئِلَ عَنْ صَوْمِ يَوْمَيْنِ وَإِفْطَارِ يَوْمٍ، قَالَ: «وَمَنْ يُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ؟» قَالَ: وَسُئِلَ عَنْ صَوْمِ يَوْمٍ وَإِفْطَارِ يَوْمَيْنِ، قَالَ: «لَيْتَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَوَّانَا لِذَلِكَ.» قَالَ: وَسُئِلَ عَنْ صَوْمِ يَوْمٍ وَإِفْطَارِ يَوْمٍ، قَالَ: «ذَاكَ صَوْمُ أَخِي دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ.» قَالَ: وَسُئِلَ عَنْ صَوْمِ يَوْمِ الاِثْنَيْنِ، قَالَ: «ذَاكَ يَوْمٌ وُلِدْتُ فِيهِ، وَيَوْمٌ بُعِثْتُ أَوْ أُنْزِلَ عَلَىَّ فِيهِ.» قَالَ: فَقَالَ: «صَوْمُ ثَلاَثَةٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ وَرَمَضَانَ إِلَى رَمَضَانَ صَوْمُ الدَّهْرِ.» قَالَ: وَسُئِلَ عَنْ صَوْمِ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ، فَقَالَ: «يُكَفِّرُ السَّنَةَ الْمَاضِيَةَ وَالْبَاقِيَةَ.» قَالَ: وَسُئِلَ عَنْ صَوْمِ يَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ، فَقَالَ: «يُكَفِّرُ السَّنَةَ الْمَاضِيَةَ.»

✧ that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about his fasting. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ became angry, so Umar ᴿᴬ said, "We are content with Allah as Lord, with Islam as religion, with Muhammad as Messenger, and with our pledge as a pledge." He said: He was asked about fasting continuously, and he said: "He has neither fasted nor broken the fast—or: he has not fasted and has not broken the fast." He said: He was asked about fasting two days and breaking the fast one day, and he said: "Who can bear that?" He said: He was asked about fasting one day and breaking the fast two days, and he said: "Would that Allah had given us strength for that." He said: He was asked about fasting one day and breaking the fast one day, and he said: "That is the fast of my brother Dawud, upon him be peace." He said: He was asked about fasting on Monday, and he said: "That is a day on which I was born, and a day on which I was sent—or on which revelation was sent down to me." He said: Then he said: "Fasting three days of every month, and Ramadan to Ramadan, is fasting for a lifetime." He said: He was asked about fasting the Day of Arafah, and he said: "It expiates the past year and the coming one." He said: He was asked about fasting the Day of Ashurah, and he said: "It expiates the past year."
Notes
✧ In this hadith, in the narration of Shubah, he said: "He was asked about fasting on Monday and Thursday." We have left out mention of Thursday because we regard it as an error.
