Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq · Chapter on the Recommended Fasts of the Year
رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يَصُومُ حَتَّى يُقَالَ لاَ يُفْطِرُ وَ يُفْطِرُ حَتَّى يُقَالَ لاَ يَصُومُ ثُمَّ صَامَ يَوْماً وَ أَفْطَرَ يَوْماً ثُمَّ صَامَ اَلْإِثْنَيْنِ وَ اَلْخَمِيسَ ثُمَّ آلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِلَى صِيَامِ ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي اَلشَّهْرِ، اَلْخَمِيسِ فِي أَوَّلِ اَلشَّهْرِ وَ أَرْبِعَاءَ فِي وَسَطِ اَلشَّهْرِ وَ خَمِيسٍ فِي آخِرِ اَلشَّهْرِ وَ كَانَ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يَقُولُ «ذَلِكَ صَوْمُ اَلدَّهْرِ» وَ قَدْ كَانَ أَبِي عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ أَبْغَضَ إِلَى اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ رَجُلٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يَفْعَلُ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَيَقُولُ لاَ يُعَذِّبُنِي اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى أَنْ أَجْتَهِدَ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ وَ اَلصَّوْمِ كَأَنَّهُ يَرَى أَنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ تَرَكَ شَيْئاً مِنَ اَلْفَضْلِ عَجْزاً عَنْهُ» ».
It is narrated by al-Hasan ibn Mahbub from Jamil ibn Salih, from Muhammad ibn Marwan, who said: "I heard Abu Abdullah (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s)) say: 'The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) would fast so much that it was said he would never break his fast, and he would break his fast so much that it was said he would never fast. Then he began fasting one day and breaking his fast the next day. Then he fasted on Mondays and Thursdays. After that, he transitioned to fasting three days a month: the first Thursday of the month, the Wednesday in the middle of the month, and the last Thursday of the month. He (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) would say: "That is the fasting of a lifetime." My father (Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (a.s)) used to say: "There is no one more detested by Allah (swt), the Almighty, than a person who, when told that the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) did such and such, responds by saying, 'Allah (swt) will not punish me for striving in prayer and fasting,' as if he believes that the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) left something of merit undone due to incapacity."'"
