أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ عَنْ أَبِي نَوْفَلِ بْنِ أَبِي عَقْرَبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الصَّوْمِ فَقَالَ صُمْ يَوْمًا مِنْ کُلِّ شَهْرٍ وَاسْتَزَادَهُ قَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي أَجِدُنِي قَوِيًّا فَزَادَهُ قَالَ صُمْ يَوْمَيْنِ مِنْ کُلِّ شَهْرٍ فَقَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَجِدُنِي قَوِيًّا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنِّي أَجِدُنِي قَوِيًّا إِنِّي أَجِدُنِي قَوِيًّا فَمَا کَادَ أَنْ يَزِيدَهُ فَلَمَّا أَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ کُلِّ شَهْرٍ

سنن نسائی · Hadith 2440

It was narrated from Abu Nawfal bin Abi ‘Aqrab, from his father, that he asked the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم about fasting and he said: “Fast One day of each month.” He asked him for more, saying: “May my father and mother be ransomed for you, I am able.” He said: “Fast two days of each month.” He said:“May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, I am able.” The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “I am able, I am able.” He did not want to increase it, but when I insisted, the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “Fast three days of each month.” (Sahih) The end of what the Shaikh had about fasting, all praise is due to Allah the Lord of the worlds.
