حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، وَأَبُو مُوسَى ، قَالا : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ ، عَنِ الأَشْعَرِيِّ يَعْنِي أَبَا مُوسَى ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " مَنْ صَامَ الدَّهْرَ ضُيِّقَتْ عَلَيْهِ جَهَنَّمُ هَكَذَا " وَعَقَدَ تِسْعِينَ
Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace be upon him) said: "For the person who fasts for a lifetime, Hell will be made so narrow for him," and he (peace be upon him) showed the number ninety by knotting his finger.
Hadith 2155
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ ، قَالا : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ الْهُجَيْمِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " الَّذِي يَصُومُ الدَّهْرَ تُضَيَّقُ عَلَيْهِ جَهَنَّمُ تَضَيُّقَ هَذِهِ " وَعَقَدَ تِسْعِينَ . قَالَ ابْنُ بَزِيعٍ فِي الَّذِي يَصُومُ الدَّهْرَ ، وَقَالَ : وَعَقَدَ التِّسْعِينَ . سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مُوسَى يَقُولُ : اسْمُ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ طَرِيفُ بْنُ مُجَالِدٍ ، سَمِعَهُ مِنْ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ ، عَنْ جَهْضَمٍ الْهُجَيْمِيِّ . قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : لَمْ يُسْنِدْ هَذَا الْخَبَرَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ غَيْرُ ابْنِ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ . قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : سَأَلْتُ الْمُزَنِيَّ عَنْ مَعْنَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ، فَقَالَ : يُشْبِهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَلَيْهِ مَعْنَاهُ ، أَيْ : ضُيِّقَتْ عَنْهُ جَهَنَّمُ ، فَلا يَدْخُلُ جَهَنَّمَ ، وَلا يُشْبِهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَعْنَاهُ غَيْرَ هَذَا ؛ لأَنَّ مَنِ ازْدَادَ لِلَّهِ عَمَلا ، وَطَاعَةً ، ازْدَادَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ رِفْعَةً ، وَعَلَيْهِ كَرَامَةً ، وَإِلَيْهِ قُرْبَةً . هَذَا مَعْنَى جَوَابِ الْمُزَنِيِّ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The person who fasts continuously throughout his life, for him Hell will be made as narrow as this." And the Prophet (peace be upon him) tied a knot in his fingers while making the number ninety. In the narration of Ibn Bazee’, it is mentioned regarding the person who fasts throughout his life, and it is said that he showed by tying a knot of ninety. The Imam says: I heard from Abu Musa, he was saying that Abu Tamimah's name is Tarif bin Mujalid, and he has heard narrations from Muslimah bin Salit and Jahdam Al-Hajimi. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that only Ibn Abi Adi has narrated this hadith from Qatadah through Sa'id in a musnad form. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I asked Imam Muzani (may Allah have mercy on him) about the meaning of this hadith, so he said: It is possible that its meaning is that Hell will be made narrow for this person, therefore he will not enter Hell, and apart from this, it cannot have any other meaning, because the person who does more deeds for the sake of Allah and advances in obedience and submission, he will have a higher status, honor, dignity, and closeness with Allah. This is the meaning of Imam Muzani's (may Allah have mercy on him) answer.
Hadith 2156
حَدَّثَنَا بَحْرُ بْنُ نَصْرِ بْنِ سَابِقٍ الْخَوْلانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، قَالَ : وَحَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ جَشِيبٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ زُرْعَةَ بْنَ ثَوْبٍ ، يَقُولُ : سَأَلْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ عَنْ صِيَامِ الدَّهْرِ ، فَقَالَ : " كُنَّا نَعُدُّ أُولَئِكَ فِينَا مِنَ السَّابِقِينَ . قَالَ : وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صِيَامِ يَوْمٍ ، وَفِطْرِ يَوْمٍ ؟ فَقَالَ : " لَمْ يَدَعْ ذَلِكَ لِصَائِمٍ مَصَامًا " ، وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صِيَامِ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ، قَالَ : " صَامَ ذَلِكَ الدَّهْرَ وَأَفْطَرَهُ "
Hazrat Zarah bin Thawb narrates that I asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) about fasting for a lifetime, so he replied that we used to consider such people among us as those who excelled in good deeds. He says, then I asked him about fasting one day and leaving it the next day, so he replied that such a person has not left any fast for the fasting person (as if he has kept all the fasts). And I asked him about keeping three fasts in every month, so he said that such a person has fasted for a lifetime and also left some (i.e., he has both fasted and left fasts).
