الترجمة الإنجليزية
Abu Qatadah reported that a Bedouin came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: 'O Prophet of Allah, how do you fast?' The Prophet (peace be upon him) remained silent and did not respond. When his anger subsided, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab asked him: 'O Prophet of Allah, how do you fast? What about someone who fasts the entire time?' He said: 'He neither fasted nor broke his fast,' or he said: 'He did not fast and did not break his fast.' He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what about someone who fasts two days and breaks his fast one day?' The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'And who can endure that, O 'Umar? I wish I could do that.' He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what about someone who fasts one day and breaks his fast one day?' He said: 'That is the fast of Dawud (peace be upon him).' He said: 'O Prophet of Allah, what about someone who fasts the Day of 'Arafah?' He said: 'It expiates the current year and the year before it.' He said: 'What about someone who fasts three days of the month?' He said: 'That is like fasting the entire time.' He said: 'What about someone who fasts the Day of 'Ashura?' He said: 'It expiates the current year.' He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what about someone who fasts on Monday?' He said: 'That is the day I was born and the day prophethood was revealed to me.'
