Chapter: What was narrated concerning the virtues of fasting

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ هَلَكْتُ ‏.‏ قَالَ: ‏”‏ وَمَا أَهْلَكَكَ؟ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ: وَقَعْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي فِي رَمَضَانَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏”‏ أَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ: لاَ أَجِدُهَا ‏.‏ قَالَ: ‏”‏ صُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ: لاَ أُطِيقُ ‏.‏ قَالَ: ‏”‏ أَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ: لاَ أَجِدُ ‏.‏ قَالَ: ‏”‏ اجْلِسْ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ فَجَلَسَ فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أُتِيَ بِمِكْتَلٍ يُدْعَى الْعَرَقَ فَقَالَ: ‏”‏ اذْهَبْ فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ ‏”‏ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا بَيْنَ لاَبَتَيْهَا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ أَحْوَجُ إِلَيْهِ مِنَّا ‏.‏ قَالَ: ‏”‏ فَانْطَلِقْ فَأَطْعِمْهُ عِيَالَكَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏
حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ: ‏”‏ وَصُمْ يَوْمًا مَكَانَهُ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “A man came to the Prophet
(ﷺ)
and said: ‘I am doomed.’ He said: ‘Why are you doomed?’ He
said:
‘I had intercourse with my wife in Ramadan.’ The Prophet
(ﷺ) said:
‘Free a slave.’ He said: ‘I cannot.’ He said:
‘Fast for two
consecutive months.’ He said: ‘I cannot.’ He
said: ‘Feed sixty poor
persons.’ He said: ‘I cannot.’ He
said: ‘Sit down.’ So he sat down,
and while doing so a basketful
of dates was brought. The Prophet (ﷺ)
said: ‘Go and give this in
charity.’ He said: ‘O Messenger of Allah,
by the One Who sent you
with the truth, there is no household between
its two lava fields
(i.e., in Al-Madinah) that is more in need of it
than us.’ He said:
‘Then go and feed your family.’” Another chain from Abu Hurairah with additional words: “Then he (the Prophet SAW) said: “And fast a day in its place.”
