حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي السَّلِيلِ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُجِيبَةَ الْبَاهِلِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَوْ عَنْ عَمِّهِ ، قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ، أَنَا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي أَتَيْتُكَ عَامَ الْأَوَّلِ ، قَالَ : " فَمَا لِي أَرَى جِسْمَكَ نَاحِلًا " ، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، مَا أَكَلْتُ طَعَامًا بِالنَّهَارِ مَا أَكَلْتُهُ إِلَّا بِاللَّيْلِ ، قَالَ : " مَنْ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ تُعَذِّبَ نَفْسَكَ ؟ " ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي أَقْوَى ، قَالَ : " صُمْ شَهْرَ الصَّبْرِ ، وَيَوْمًا بَعْدَهُ " ، قُلْتُ : إِنِّي أَقْوَى ، قَالَ : " صُمْ شَهْرَ الصَّبْرِ ، وَيَوْمَيْنِ بَعْدَهُ " ، قُلْتُ : إِنِّي أَقْوَى ، قَالَ : " صُمْ شَهْرَ الصَّبْرِ ، وَثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ بَعْدَهُ ، وَصُمْ أَشْهُرَ الْحُرُمِ " .
´It was narrated from Abu Mujibah Al-Bahili that his father or, his paternal uncle, said:` “I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: ‘O Prophet of Allah, I am the man who came to you last year.’ He said: ‘Why do I see your body so thin (and weak)?’ He said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! I do not eat during the day; I only eat at night.’ He said: ‘Who commanded you to punish yourself?’ I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! I am strong enough.’ He said: ‘Fast the month of patience* and one day after it.’ I said: ‘I am strong enough (to do more).’ He said: ‘Fast the month of patience and two days after it.’ I said: ‘I am strong enough (to do more).’ He said: ‘Fast the month of patience and three days after it, and fast the sacred months.’”

Brief Explanation
1؎ : By "the month of patience" is meant the month of fasting (Ramadan). The original meaning of "sabr" (patience) is to restrain. Since in this month the fasting person restrains himself during the day from eating, drinking, and sexual relations, it is therefore called «شہر الصبر» (the month of patience).
2؎ : By "the sacred months" here are meant the months of Dhu al-Hijjah and Muharram. In general, however, the sacred months are four: Rajab, Dhu al-Qa'dah, Dhu al-Hijjah, and Muharram.
