أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ عَنْ أَبِي نَوْفَلِ بْنِ أَبِي عَقْرَبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ
أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنِ الصَّوْمِ فَقَالَ «صُمْ يَوْمًا مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ» فَاسْتَزَادَهُ وَقَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي أَجِدُنِي قَوِيًّا فَزِدْنِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي أَجِدُنِي قَوِيًّا إِنِّي أَجِدُنِي قَوِيًّا» فَمَا كَادَ أَنْ يَزِيدَهُ فَاسْتَزَادَهُ فَزَادَهُ فَقَالَ «صُمْ يَوْمَيْنِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ» فَقَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أَجِدُنِي قَوِيًّا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي أَجِدُنِي قَوِيًّا إِنِّي أَجِدُنِي قَوِيًّا» فَمَا كَادَ أَنْ يَزِيدَهُ فَلَمَّا أَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ ﷺ «صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ»

✧ He asked the Prophet ﷺ about fasting. He said, "Fast one day of every month." He asked for more and said, "May my father and mother be your ransom, I find myself strong, so increase me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "'I find myself strong, I find myself strong.'" He almost did not increase him, so he asked for more and he increased him. He said, "Fast two days of every month." He said, "May my father and mother be your ransom, O Messenger of Allah, I find myself strong." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "'I find myself strong, I find myself strong.'" He almost did not increase him, but when he insisted, the Messenger ﷺ said, "Fast three days of every month."
