حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الدَّقَّاقُ ، ثنا بَحْرُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ ، ثنا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، ثنا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ أَزْهَرَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا عَامِرٍ الْهَوْزَنِيَّ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ ، سُئِلَ عَنْ قَضَاءِ رَمَضَانَ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يُرَخِّصْ لَكُمْ فِي فِطْرِهِ وَهُوَ لا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَشُقَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي قَضَائِهِ ، فَأَحْصِ الْعِدَّةَ ، وَاصْنَعْ مَا شِئْتَ " .
Abu Amir Huzni narrates: I heard Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah bin Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him). He was asked about making up missed fasts of Ramadan. He said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty has not given you this concession, so do not keep these fasts, nor does He want you to be put to hardship regarding their making up. Therefore, count the number (of missed fasts) and keep them as you wish."
