الكبرى للنسائي:٢٧٥١أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا حِبَّانُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنَ أَبِي الْمِنْهَالِ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَمَرَهُمْ بِصِيَامِ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ الْبِيضِ وَقَالَ «هُنَّ صَوْمُ الشَّهْرِ»
