English translation

2428. It was reported from Mujibah Al-Bāhiliyyah, from her father, or her paternal uncle, that he came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, then he left and returned after one year when his condition and appearance had changed. He said: "O Messenger of Allāh! Do you not recognize me?" He said: "And who are you?" He said: I am Al-Bāhilī, who came to you last year." He said: "What made you change, you used to be good in appearance?" I said: "I have not eaten food since I left you, except at night." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Why did you torture yourself?" Then he said: "Fast the month of patience (Ramaḍān) and one day from each month." He said: "Increase for me, for I have more power." He said: "Fast for two days." He said: "Increase for me." He said: "Fast for three days". He said: "Increase for me." He said: "Fast during the sacred months and (then) leave it, fast during the sacred months and (then) leave it, fast during the sacred months, and (then) leave it." He indicated by his three fingers, he joined them, and then opened them, (indicating to fast at most three days continuously). (Da'if)

2428 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي السَّلِيلِ، عَنْ مُجِيبَةَ الْبَاهِلِيَّةِ، عَنْ أَبِيهَا، أَوْ عَمِّهَا، أَنَّهُ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ فَأَتَاهُ بَعْدَ سَنَةٍ، وَقَدْ تَغَيَّرَتْ حَالُهُ وَهَيْئَتُهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَمَا تَعْرِفُنِي، قَالَ: «وَمَنْ أَنْتَ؟» قَالَ: أَنَا الْبَاهِلِيُّ، الَّذِي جِئْتُكَ عَامَ الْأَوَّلِ، قَالَ: «فَمَا غَيَّرَكَ، وَقَدْ كُنْتَ حَسَنَ الْهَيْئَةِ؟»، قَالَ: مَا أَكَلْتُ طَعَامًا إِلَّا بِلَيْلٍ مُنْذُ فَارَقْتُكَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِمَ عَذَّبْتَ نَفْسَكَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «صُمْ شَهْرَ الصَّبْرِ، وَيَوْمًا مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ»، قَالَ: زِدْنِي فَإِنَّ بِي قُوَّةً، قَالَ: «صُمْ يَوْمَيْنِ»، قَالَ: زِدْنِي، قَالَ: «صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ»، قَالَ: زِدْنِي، قَالَ: صُمْ مِنَ الحُرُمِ وَاتْرُكْ، صُمْ مِنَ الحُرُمِ وَاتْرُكْ، صُمْ مِنَ الحُرُمِ وَاتْرُكْ "، وَقَالَ: بِأَصَابِعِهِ الثَّلَاثَةِ فَضَمَّهَا ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَهَا
