[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told me, "Fast one day from the beginning of the month, and you will receive the reward for what remains."  

قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «صُمْ يَوْمًا مِنْ أَوَّلِ الشَّهْرِ وَلَكَ أَجْرُ مَا بَقِيَ»  

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Do you know who I am? I am the one who came to you in the first year." He mentioned the beauty of his physical appearance and said, "I have not fasted during the day after you except at night." He said, "Who commanded you to torture yourself? Fast the month of patience and one day from the month." He said, "I am able." He said, "Fast the month of patience and two days from the month." He said, "I am able." He said, "Fast the month of patience and three days from the month." He said, "I am able." He said, "Fast during the sacred months and break the fast."  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ هَلْ تَعْرِفُنِي أَنَا الَّذِي أَتَيْتُكَ عَامَ الْأَوَّلَ فَذَكَرَ مِنْ حُسْنِ جِسْمِهِ قَالَ مَا أَفْطَرْتُ بَعْدَكَ نَهَارًا إِلَّا لَيْلًا قَالَ «وَمَنْ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ تُعَذِّبَ نَفْسَكَ صُمْ شَهْرَ الصَّبْرِ وَيَوْمًا مِنَ الشَّهْرِ» قَالَ إِنِّي أَقْوَى قَالَ «صُمْ شَهْرَ الصَّبْرِ وَيَوْمَيْنِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ» قَالَ إِنِّي أَقْوَى قَالَ «صُمْ شَهْرَ الصَّبْرِ وَثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ» قَالَ إِنِّي أَقْوَى قَالَ «صُمِ الْحُرُمَ وَأَفْطِرْ»
