حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الرِّشْكِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُعَاذَةَ، قَالَتْ: قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ: أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصُومُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ؟ قَالَتْ: «نَعَمْ» . قُلْتُ: مِنْ أَيِّهِ كَانَ يَصُومُ؟ قَالَتْ: «كَانَ لَا يُبَالِي مِنْ أَيِّهِ صَامَ» قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى: " يَزِيدُ الرِّشْكُ هُوَ يَزِيدُ الضُّبَعِيُّ الْبَصْرِيُّ وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ رَوَى عَنْهُ شُعْبَةُ، وَعَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَحَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الْأَئِمَةِ، وَهُوَ يَزِيدُ الْقَاسِمُ وَيُقَالُ: الْقَسَّامُ، وَالرِّشْكُ بِلُغَةِ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ هُوَ الْقَسَّامُ "
Yazid al-Rashk says that I heard from Mu’adhah, she said: I asked Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her): Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) fast three days every month? She replied: Yes! I asked: On which days did he (peace and blessings be upon him) fast? She said: He did not pay attention to any specific day, rather he would fast on any day. Imam Tirmidhi (may Allah have mercy on him) says that by Yazid al-Rashk, Yazid al-Dubai is meant. And he is trustworthy; from him Shu’bah, Abdul Warith bin Sa’id, Hammad bin Zaid, Ismail bin Ibrahim, and many other Imams have narrated. By Yazid al-Qasim and Yazid al-Qassam, the same person is meant. In the language of the people of Basra, Rashk means one who distributes a lot.
