Hadith 6775

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ أَخِي مُطَرِّفٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فِي كَمْ أَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ ؟ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ ، قَالَ يَحْيَى قَالَ : " فِي سَبْعٍ ، لَا يَفْقَهُ مَنْ قَرَأَهُ فِي أَقَلَّ مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ " ، وَقَالَ : كَيْفَ أَصُومُ ؟ قَالَ : " صُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ ، مِنْ كُلِّ عَشَرَةِ أَيَّامٍ يَوْمًا ، وَيُكْتَبُ لَكَ أَجْرُ تِسْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ " ، قَالَ : إِنِّي أَقْوَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ ، قَالَ : " صُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ عَشَرَةٍ يَوْمَيْنِ ، وَيُكْتَبُ لَكَ أَجْرُ ثَمَانِيَةِ أَيَّامٍ " ، حَتَّى بَلَغَ خَمْسَةَ أَيَّامٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "In how many days should I complete the recitation of the Qur'an?" Then he mentioned the complete hadith and said: "In seven days, and whoever recites it in less than three days does not understand it." I asked, "How should I fast?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Fast three days every month; one fast will be counted as ten days, and for you, the reward of nine days will be written in addition." I said, "I have the strength for more than that." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then fast two days in ten days, and for you, the reward of eight days will be written." This continued until the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reached five days.
