| SunanAbuDawoud-017-001-29472 | | Narrated Abu Qatadah: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: How do you fast; Messenger of Allah? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ became angry at what he said. When Umar observed this his anger ; he said: We are satisfied with Allah as Lord; with Islam as religion; and with Muhammad as Prophet. We seek refuge in Allah from the anger of Allah; and from the anger of His Apostle. Umar continued to repeat these words till his anger cooled down. He then asked: Messenger of Allah; what is the position of one who observes a perpetual fast? He replied: May he not fast or break his fast. Mousaddad said in his version: He has neither fasted nor broken his fast. The narrator; Ghaylan; doubted the actual wordings. He asked: What is the position of one who fasts two days and does not fast one day? He said: Is anyone able to do that? He asked: What is the position of one who fasts every second day i.e. fasts one day and does not fasts the next day ? He the Prophet said: This is the fast that David observed. He asked: Messenger of Allah; what is the position of one who fasts one day and breaks it for two days? He replied: I wish I were given the power to observe that. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The observance of three days fast every month and of one Ramadan to the other i.e. the fast of Ramadan every year is equivalent to a perpetual fast. I seek from Allah that fasting on the day of Arafat may atone for the sins of the preceding and the coming year; and I seek from Allah that fasting on the day of Ashura may atone for the sins of the preceding year. | The Chapter on Special Days And Fasting in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on Regarding Continuous Voluntary Fasting in Sunan Abu Dawoud |
