Hadith 3659
أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ كَانَ فِي سَفَرٍ ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلُوا وَوُضِعَتِ السَّفَرَةُ بَعَثُوا إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلَّى ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي صَائِمٌ ، فَلَمَّا كَادُوا أَنْ يَفْرُغُوا ، جَاءَ فَجَعَلَ يَأْكُلُ ، فَنَظَرَ الْقَوْمُ إِلَى رَسُولِهِمْ ، فَقَالَ : مَا تَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيَّ قَدْ وَاللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ صَائِمٌ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ : صَدَقَ ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَنْ صَامَ ثَلاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ فَقَدْ صَامَ الشَّهْرَ كُلَّهُ " ، وَقَدْ صُمْتُ ثَلاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ، وَإِنِّي الشَّهْرَ كُلَّهُ صَائِمٌ ، وَوَجَدْتُ تَصْدِيقَ ذَلِكَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلا : مَنْ جَاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِهَا سورة الأنعام آية 160 .
Abu Uthman narrates: Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) was traveling when the people camped and spread out the dining cloth. The people sent someone to call Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), and at that time he was performing prayer. He informed them: I am fasting. When the people finished eating, Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) came. He began to eat. The people sent their messenger towards him. He said: Why are you looking at me? By Allah! He had told me that he was fasting. So Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: He spoke the truth. I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever fasts three days in every month, it is as if he has fasted the whole month." So I fast three days every month, thus it is as if I fast the whole month, and I have found confirmation of this in the Book of Allah, the Exalted (the statement of Allah, the Exalted): "Whoever brings a good deed, he will have ten times the like thereof."
