Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ كَانَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَلَمَّا نَزَلُوا أَرْسَلُوا إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي لِيَطْعَمَ فَقَالَ لِلرُّسُلِ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ فَلَمَّا و
ُضِعَ الطَّعَامُ وَكَادُوا يَفْرُغُونَ جَاءَ فَجَعَلَ يَأْكُلُ فَنَظَرَ الْقَوْمُ إِلَى رَسُولِهِمْ فَقَالَ مَا تَنْظُرُونَ قَدْ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ صَائِمٌ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ صَدَقَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ صَوْمُ شَهْرِ الصَّبْرِ وَثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ صَوْمُ الدَّهْرِ فَقَدْ صُمْتُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ وَأَنَا مُفْطِرٌ فِي تَخْفِيفِ اللَّهِ وَصَائِمٌ فِي تَضْعِيفِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
