Hadith 3953
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: أَتَى أَعْرَابِيٌّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِأَرْنَبٍ قَدْ شَوَاهَا وَمَعَهَا صِنَابُهَا وَأُدَمُهَا، فَوَضَعَهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَأَمْسَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ، وَأَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ أَنْ يَأْكُلُوا فَأَمْسَكَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((مَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تَأْكُلَ؟)) قَالَ: إِنِّي أَصُومُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ، قَالَ: ((إِنْ كُنْتَ صَائِمًا فَصُمِ الْأَيَّامَ الْغُرَّ))
Syedna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates that a Bedouin brought a roasted rabbit to the service of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, along with a sauce of mustard and raisins and some curry. He placed it before the Prophet, but the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, did not eat it himself; rather, he instructed his companions to eat. The Bedouin refrained from eating. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, asked him: Why are you not eating? He replied: I fast three days every month (and today I am fasting). The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: If you wish to fast, then fast on the white days.
Hadith 3954
عَنِ ابْنِ الْحَوْتَكِيَّةِ قَالَ: أُتِيَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِطَعَامٍ فَدَعَا إِلَيْهِ رَجُلًا، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي صَائِمٌ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: وَأَيُّ الصِّيَامِ تَصُومُ؟ لَوْلَا كَرَاهِيَةُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ أَوْ أَنْقُصَ لَحَدَّثْتُكُمْ بِحَدِيثِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَيْنَ جَاءَهُ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ بِالْأَرْنَبِ، وَلَكِنْ أَرْسِلُوا إِلَى عَمَّارٍ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُ عَمَّارٌ، قَالَ: أَشَاهِدٌ أَنْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ جَاءَهُ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ بِالْأَرْنَبِ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ بِهَا دَمًا، فَقَالَ: ((كُلُوهَا))، قَالَ: إِنِّي صَائِمٌ، قَالَ: ((وَأَيُّ الصِّيَامِ تَصُومُ؟)) قَالَ: أَوَّلَ الشَّهْرِ وَآخِرَهُ، قَالَ: ((إِنْ كُنْتَ صَائِمًا فَصُمِ الثَّلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ وَالْأَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ وَالْخَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ))
Ibn Hu Takiyah says that food was presented to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). He invited a man to eat, but he said: I am fasting. He (Umar) asked: On which days do you fast? If there was no fear of error, I would have told you a hadith of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), according to which a Bedouin once brought a rabbit to him. However, you should call Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him). When he came, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him: Were you present on the day when a Bedouin brought a rabbit to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? He replied: Yes. The Bedouin said: I saw that it bleeds. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You may eat it. The Bedouin said: I am fasting. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: On which days of the month do you fast? He said: At the beginning and end of the month. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you wish to fast, then fast on the 13th, 14th, and 15th of the lunar month.
Hadith 3955
عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ الْمِنْهَالِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِأَيَّامِ الْبِيضِ فَهُوَ صَوْمُ الشَّهْرِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Minhal (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) commanded us to fast on the White Days; these are equal to fasting for a whole month.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever among you wishes to fast three days in a month, let him fast on the three days of Ayyam al-Beedh (the white days).
