أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو أَحْمَدَ يَعْنِي الْحَافِظَ، أنبأ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُفَيْرٍ، ثنا عَلِيٌّ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الرَّبِيعِ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُرَّةَ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى، ثنا أَصْحَابُ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالُوا: " أُحِيلَ الصَّوْمُ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أَحْوَالٍ: قَدِمَ النَّاسُ الْمَدِينَةَ وَلَا عَهْدَ لَهُمْ بِالصِّيَامِ، فَكَانُوا يَصُومُونَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ حَتَّى نَزَلَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ فَاسْتَكْثَرُوا ذَلِكَ وَشَقَّ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَكَانَ مَنْ أَطْعَمَ مِسْكِينًا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ تَرَكَ الصِّيَامَ مِمَنْ يُطِيقُهُ رَخَّصَ لَهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ وَنَسَخَهُ {وَأَنْ تَصُومُوا خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ} [البقرة: ١٨٤] " قَالَ: فَأُمِرُوا بِالصِّيَامِ، قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ: وَقَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ فَذَكَرَ بَعْضَ مَعْنَاهُ مُخْتَصَرًا.
Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Layla (may Allah have mercy on him) says: The Companions of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated to us that fasting was prescribed in three stages. The people came to Madinah and had no obligatory fast, so they used to fast three days every month, until the month of Ramadan was made obligatory; they found it a great deal and it was hard upon them. So whoever was able would feed a poor person every day and not fast; they had been given a concession in this, and then it was abrogated by this verse: "And that you fast is better for you, if only you knew" [Surah al-Baqarah: 184]. The narrator says: So they were commanded to fast.
