Arabic text

٧٦٠ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ ‌سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي الرَّبِيعِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: «عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَلَاثَةً: أَنْ لَا أَنَامَ إِلَّا عَلَى وِتْرٍ»، وَصَوْمَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ، وَأَنْ أُصَلِّيَ الضُّحَى.

Commentary

This is the truth; if these three days mean ‘the days of the full moon’, they are then 13th, 14th and 15th day of every lunar month, as Imām Al-Bukhārī titled a chapter ‘fasting of the days of the full moon are 13th, 14th and 15th’.
