Hadith 2129
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ النَّحْوِيُّ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ زِرٍّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، " عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَصُومُ ثَلاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ غُرَّةِ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ، وَيَكُونُ مِنْ صَوْمِهِ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ " . قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : هَذَا الْخَبَرُ يُحْتَمَلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ خَبَرَ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ : أَوْصَانِي خَلِيلِي بِثَلاثٍ : صَوْمِ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِ الشَّهْرِ ، وَأَوْصَى بِذَلِكَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، وَبِصَوْمِ أَيْضًا أَيَّامَ الْبِيضِ ، فَيُجْمَعُ صَوْمَ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ ، مَعَ صَوْمِ أَيَّامِ الْبِيضِ ، وَيُحْتَمَلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَعْنَى فِعْلِهِ وَمَا أَوْصَى بِهِ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ مِنْ صَوْمِ الثَّلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِ الشَّهْرِ مُبَادَرَةً بِهَذَا الْفِعْلِ بَدَلَ صَوْمِ الثَّلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ الْبِيضِ ، إِمَّا لِعِلَّةٍ مِنْ مَرَضٍ ، أَوْ سَفْرَةٍ ، أَوْ خَوْفِ نُزُولِ الْمَنِيَّةِ
Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he used to fast three days at the beginning of every month, and Friday was also included among his fasts. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says, it is possible that this narration is similar to the narration of Abu Uthman from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him): My beloved friend advised me regarding three things. He advised me to fast three days at the beginning of every month. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) advised Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) about this, and also about the white days (Ayyam al-Beed). Therefore, the three fasts of every month may be combined with the fasts of the white days. And it is also possible that the meaning of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) own practice and his advice to Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) is that, due to fear of illness, travel, or the arrival of death, three fasts may be observed early at the beginning of the month instead of on the white days.
