2398. It was narrated from Shu'āib bin 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr that his father said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to me: 'Fast one day and you will have the reward of ten.' I said: 'Let me fast more.' He said: 'Fast two days and you will have the reward of nine.' I said: 'Let me fast more than that.' He said: 'Fast three days and you will have the reward of eight.'" (One of the narrators) Thābit said: "I mentioned that to Mu'tarīf and he said: 'I only see that he is making more effort for less reward.'" (Hasan)

Commentary
"For less reward": It should be comprehended to signify that the extent or degree of recompense of one day's fast during the ten days is equivalent to the fast of two days during the ten days; and equally the same for three days' fast during the ten days.
