"عَنِ ابن الحوتكية، عن عمرَ بن الخطابِ أن أعرابيا جاء إلى النبى ﷺ بأرنبٍ يَهديها له، فقال: ما هذه؟ قال: هديةٌ، وكان رسول الله ﷺ لا يأكل من الهديةِ حتى يأمر صاحبها فيأكل منها من أجل الشاةِ المسمومةِ التى أهديت إليه بخيبر، فقال النبى ﷺ كُلْ منها، قال: إنى صائمٌ، قال: صومُ ماذا؟ قال: ثلاث من كلِ شهرٍ، قال: أحسنت، فاجعلها البيضَ الغرَّ الزهرَ ثلاثَ عشرَة، وأربعَ عشرةَ، وخمسَ عشرةَ".

“On the authority of Ibn al-Hutakiyyah, from 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, that a Bedouin came to the Prophet ﷺ with a rabbit as a gift for him. He said: ‘What is this?’ He said: ‘A gift.’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not eat from a gift until he commanded its giver to eat from it, because of the poisoned sheep that had been given to him at Khaybar. The Prophet ﷺ said: ‘Eat from it.’ He said: ‘I am fasting.’ He said: ‘Fasting what?’ He said: ‘Three days of every month.’ He said: ‘You have done well. Then make them the white, bright, shining days: the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth.’”
