أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ
عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ قِيلَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ يَصُومُ الدَّهْرَ قَالَ «وَدِدْتُ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَطْعَمِ الدَّهْرَ» قَالُوا فَثُلُثَيْهِ؟ قَالَ «أَكْثَرَ» قَالُوا فَنِصْفُهُ؟ قَالَ «أَكْثَرَ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِمَا يُذْهِبُ وَحَرَ الصَّدْرِ؟ صَوْمُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ»

✧ From a man among the companions of the Prophet ﷺ, he said: It was said to the Prophet ﷺ: A man fasts the whole time. He said: "I wish that he never ate the whole time." They said: Two-thirds of it? He said: "Too much." They said: Half of it? He said: "Too much." Then he said: "Shall I inform you of what removes the rancor of the heart? Fasting three days of every month."
