Hadith 3962
اُردوEn
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ) رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصُومُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ غُرَّةِ كُلِّ هِلَالٍ، وَقَلَّمَا كَانَ يُفْطِرُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast during the first three days of every month, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) would rarely break his fast on Fridays.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … This will be interpreted regarding Friday that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would fast either before or after it as well, because he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam only prohibited fasting solely on Friday. Fasting three days at the very beginning of the month—this is what eagerness for virtue demands. Various verses and hadiths have encouraged that a person should fulfill his responsibilities promptly, because one does not know when preoccupation, death, or illness may occur.
