أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَيْفُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ مِنْ خِيَارِ الْخَلْقِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ عَنْ أَبِي نَوْفَلِ بْنِ أَبِي عَقْرَبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الصَّوْمِ فَقَالَ صُمْ يَوْمًا مِنْ الشَّهْرِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ زِدْنِي زِدْنِي قَالَ تَقُولُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ زِدْنِي زِدْنِي يَوْمَيْنِ مِنْ کُلِّ شَهْرٍ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ زِدْنِي زِدْنِي إِنِّي أَجِدُنِي قَوِيًّا فَقَالَ زِدْنِي زِدْنِي أَجِدُنِي قَوِيًّا فَسَکَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّی ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ لَيَرُدُّنِي قَالَ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ کُلِّ شَهْرٍ

سنن نسائی · Hadith 2439

It was narrated from Abu Nawfal bin Abl ‘Aqrab that his father said: “I asked the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم about fasting and he said: ‘Fast one day of the month.’ I said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, let me do more, let me do more.’ He said: ‘You are saying, Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, let me do more, let me do more? Then fast two days of each month.’ I said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, let me do more, let me do more; I am able.’ He said: ‘Let me do more, let me do more; I am able for it.’ Then the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم fell silent until I thought that he was going to refuse my request. Then he said: ‘Fast three days of each month.” (Sahih)
