Sunan an-Nasa'i 2387

Translation

"Umar said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what about a person who fasted for an entire lifetime?' He said: 'He neither fasted nor broke his fast for one day?' He said: 'Can anyone do that?' He said: 'What about a person who fasted for one day?' He said: 'That is the fast of Dawud, peace be upon him.' He said: 'What about a person who fasted for one day, and broke his fast for two days?' he said: 'I wish that I could do that.' Then he said: 'Three days of each month, and from Ramadan to Ramadan, this is fasting for an entire lifetime."' 'Ata said: "someone who heard him told me that Ibn 'Umar (said) that the Prophet said: 'Whoever fasts every day of his life, then he has not fasted."

  رواه أبو هلال الراسبي محمد بن سليم عن غيلان بن جرير عن عبد الله بن معبد الزماني عن أبي قتادة الأنصاري عن عمر عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وغير أبي هلال يرويه عن غيلان بن جرير عن عبد الله بن معبد عن أبي قتادة أن عمر سأل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فيكون من مسند أبي قتادة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كذلك قال شعبة وأبان العطار وهو الصحيح

  machine translationAbū Hilāl al-Rāsibī Muḥammad b. Sulaym narrated it from Ghaylān b. Jarīr, from ʿAbdullāh b. Maʿbad al-Zimmānī, from Abū Qatādah al-Anṣārī, from ʿUmar, from the Prophet ﷺ. Others besides Abū Hilāl narrate it from Ghaylān b. Jarīr, from ʿAbdullāh b. Maʿbad, from Abū Qatādah, that ʿUmar asked the Prophet ﷺ, so it is part of the musnad of Abū Qatādah from the Prophet ﷺ. So said Shuʿbah and Abān al-ʿAṭṭār, and it is the sound version. Report a problem

  سئل عن حديث عبد الله بن معبد الزماني عن أبي قتادة أن رسول الله سئل عن رجل صام الدهر فقال لا صام ولا أفطر وسئل عمن يصوم يومين ويفطر يوما قال وأيكم يطيق ذلك الحديث بطوله فقال يرويه غيلان بن جرير عن عبد الله بن معبد الزماني واختلف عنه فرواه قتادة واختلف عنه فقال سعيد بن أبي عروبة وحماد بن سلمة وقيل عن شعبة عن قتادة عن غيلان عن عبد الله بن معبد عن أبي قتادة ورواه منصور بن زاذان والحكم بن هشام عن قتادة عن عبد الله بن معبد عن أبي قتادة لم يذكر بينهما غيلان وقيل عن الحكم عن أيوب عن عبد الله بن معبد ولا يصح ذكر أيوب فيه ورواه شعبة بن الحجاج ومهدي بن ميمون وأبان العطار وأبو هلال الراسبي وحماد بن زيد عن غيلان عن عبد الله بن معبد عن أبي قتادة إلا أن أبا هلال من بينهم جعله عن أبي قتادة عن عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه والصحيح عن أبي قتادة أنه سمع رجلا سأل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عن الصيام فقال عمر بن الخطاب يا رسول الله كيف من يصوم الدهر ورواه حجاج بن الحجاج عن غيلان واختلف عنه فرواه إبراهيم بن طهمان عن حجاج عن غيلان عن عبد الله بن معبد عن أبي قتادة وخالفه هارون بن مسلم العجلي وكان ضعيفا رواه عن حجاج عن غيلان عن عبد الله بن معبد عن عبد الله بن أبي قتادة ووهم في ذكر عبد الله بن أبي قتادة والصواب قول قتادة وشعبة ومن وافقهما

  machine translationHe was asked about the hadith of ʿAbdullāh b. Maʿbad al-Zimmānī, from Abū Qatādah, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about a man who fasts perpetually, and he said: "He neither fasted nor broke his fast." He was also asked about one who fasts two days and breaks his fast one day, and he said: "And which of you is able to do that?" (the hadith in its full length). He said: It is narrated by Ghaylān b. Jarīr from ʿAbdullāh b. Maʿbad al-Zimmānī, and there is disagreement about it from him. Qatādah narrated it, and there is disagreement about him: Saʿīd b. Abī ʿArūbah and Ḥammād b. Salamah said, and it is also said from Shuʿbah, from Qatādah, from Ghaylān, from ʿAbdullāh b. Maʿbad, from Abū Qatādah. Manṣūr b. Zādhān and al-Ḥakam b. Hishām narrated it from Qatādah, from ʿAbdullāh b. Maʿbad, from Abū Qatādah, without mentioning Ghaylān between them. It is also said from al-Ḥakam, from Ayyūb, from ʿAbdullāh b. Maʿbad, but the mention of Ayyūb in it is not sound. Shuʿbah b. al-Ḥajjāj, Mahdī b. Maymūn, Abān al-ʿAṭṭār, Abū Hilāl al-Rāsibī and Ḥammād b. Zayd narrated it from Ghaylān, from ʿAbdullāh b. Maʿbad, from Abū Qatādah, except that Abū Hilāl alone among them made it from Abū Qatādah, from ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb, may Allah be pleased with him. The sound version is from Abū Qatādah that he heard a man ask the Prophet ﷺ about fasting, and ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb said: "O Messenger of Allah, what about one who fasts perpetually?" Ḥajjāj b. al-Ḥajjāj narrated it from Ghaylān, and there is disagreement about him: Ibrāhīm b. Ṭahmān narrated it from Ḥajjāj, from Ghaylān, from ʿAbdullāh b. Maʿbad, from Abū Qatādah. Hārūn b. Muslim al-ʿIjlī, who was weak (ḍaʿīf), contradicted him and narrated it from Ḥajjāj, from Ghaylān, from ʿAbdullāh b. Maʿbad, from ʿAbdullāh b. Abī Qatādah. He erred in mentioning ʿAbdullāh b. Abī Qatādah. The correct version is the statement of Qatādah, Shuʿbah and those who agree with them. Report a problem
