أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَيْفُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ مِنْ خِيَارِ الْخَلْقِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ عَنْ أَبِي نَوْفَلِ بْنِ أَبِي عَقْرَبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الصَّوْمِ فَقَالَ «صُمْ يَوْمًا مِنَ الشَّهْرِ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ زِدْنِي قَالَ يَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «زِدْنِي زِدْنِي صُمْ يَوْمَيْنِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أَجِدُنِي قَوِيًّا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «زِدْنِي زِدْنِي إِنِّي أَجِدُنِي قَوِيًّا» فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ لَنْ يَزِيدَنِي قَالَ «صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ»

✧ I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about fasting. He said, "Fast one day of the month." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, increase me." He said—the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said—"Increase me, increase me, fast two days of every month." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I find myself strong." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Increase me, increase me, 'I find myself strong.'" Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent until I thought that he would not increase me. He said, "Fast three days of every month."
