English translation

2397. It was narrated that 'Abdullâh bin 'Amr said: "I spoke to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: 'Fast one day out of ten and you will have the reward of the other nine.' I said: 'I am able to do more than that.' He said: 'Fast one day out of eight and you will have the reward of the other eight.' I said: 'I am able to do more than that.' He said: 'Fast one day out of eight and you will have the reward of the other seven.' I said: 'I am able to do more than that.' And it continued until he said: 'Fast one day and not the next.'" (Hasan)

2395 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَلَاءِ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: ذَكَرْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصَّوْمَ، فَقَالَ: «صُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ عَشَرَةِ أَيَّامٍ يَوْمًا، وَلَكَ أَجْرُ تِلْكَ التِّسْعَةِ»، فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَقْوَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: «صُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ تِسْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ يَوْمًا، وَلَكَ أَجْرُ تِلْكَ الثَّمَانِيَةِ»، قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَقْوَى مَنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: «فَصُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ ثَمَانِيَةِ أَيَّامٍ يَوْمًا، وَلَكَ أَجْرُ تِلْكَ السَّبْعَةِ»، قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَقْوَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: فَلَمْ يَزَلْ حَتَّى قَالَ: «صُمْ يَوْمًا وَأَفْطِرْ يَوْمًا»

Commentary

Obviously, from every dimension, the rigor of fifteen days' fasts is far greater than that of three days.
