11. Fasting
١١۔ كِتَابُ الصِّيَامِ
عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ وَأَبِي شِمْرٍ الضُّبَعِيِّ
[Machine] That Abu Hurayrah was on a journey and when they reached their destination, they sent food to him while he was praying. He said to the Messenger ﷺ , "I am fasting." When the food was set and they were about to leave, he came and started eating. The people looked at their messenger, so he said, "Why do you look? He informed me that he is fasting." Abu Hurayrah said, "He spoke the truth. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Fasting for the month of patience and fasting three days of every month are fasting for the entire year. So I have fasted three days of this month, and I am breaking my fast due to the concession of Allah and fasting due to the multiplication of Allah.'"
أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ كَانَ فِي سَفَرٍ لَهُ فَلَمَّا نَزَلُوا أَرْسَلُوا إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي لِيَطْعَمَ فَقَالَ لِلرَّسُولِ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ فَلَمَّا وُضِعَ الطَّعَامُ وَكَادُوا يَفْرُغُونَ فَجَاءَ فَجَعَلَ يَأْكُلُ فَنَظَرَ الْقَوْمُ إِلَى رَسُولِهِمْ فَقَالَ مَا تَنْظُرُونَ قَدْ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ صَائِمٌ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ صَدَقَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ صَوْمُ شَهْرِ الصَّبْرِ وَصَوْمُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ صَوْمُ الدَّهْرِ فَقَدْ صُمْتُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ فَأَنَا مُفْطِرٌ فِي تَخْفِيفِ اللهِ وَصَائِمٌ فِي تَضْعِيفِ اللهِ
[Machine] I came to the city and behold, there was a tall black man. I asked, "Who is this?" He said, "Abu Dharr." I said, "Let me see how he is today." He said, "Are you fasting?" I said, "Yes, and they are waiting for permission." So they entered and brought us a bowl. He ate, and I moved it to remind him with my hand. He said, "I did not forget what I told you. I informed you that I am fasting. I fast for three days every month. I am always fasting."
أَتَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ طَوِيلٌ أَسْوَدُ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ فَقُلْتُ لَأَنْظُرَنَّ عَلَى أِيِّ حَالٍ هُوَ الْيَوْمَ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَصَائِمٌ أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَهُمْ يَنْتَظِرُونَ الْإِذْنَ عَلَى عُمَرَ ؓ فَدَخَلُوا فَأُتِينَا بِقِصَاعٍ فَأَكَلَ فَحَرَّكْتُهُ أُذَكِّرُهُ بِيَدِي فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ أَنْسَ مَا قُلْتُ لَكَ أَخْبَرْتُكَ أَنِّي صَائِمٌ إِنِّي أَصُومُ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَأَنَا أَبَدًا صَائِمٌ
