وعن مجيبة الباهلية عن أبيها أو عمها

أنه أتى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ثم انطلق فأتاه بعد سنة وقد تغيرت حاله وهيئته، فقال: يا رسول الله أما تعرفني؟ قال: «ومن أنت؟ «قال: أنا الباهلي الذي جئتك عام الأول.

قال: «فما غيرك، وقد كنت حسن الهيئة؟ «قال: ما أكلت طعامًا منذ فارقتك إلا بليل. فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «عذبت نفسك! «ثم قال: «صم شهر الصبر، ويومًا من كل شهر«قال: زدني، فإن بي قوة، قال: «صم يومين«قال: زذني، قال: «صم ثلاثة أيام«قال: زدني.

قال: «صم من الحرم واترك، صم من الحرم واترك، صم من الحرم واترك«وقال بأصابعه الثلاث فضمها، ثم أرسلها»

“I am Al- Bahili who visited you last year.” The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “You were quite handsome, what has changed your appearance so much?”

He replied, “Since my departure from here, I have not eaten anything except at night.” The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) remarked, “You have put yourself to torture. Observe Saum (fasting) during the Month of Patience (i.e., Ramadan) and fast one day from each month.” He submitted, “Permit me to observe more voluntary fasts because I have capacity to do so.”

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Then observe fasts for two days in every month.” He said, “Permit me to observe more.” The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Observe fasts on three days in every month.” He requested that he should be allowed to observe more fasts.

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Fast three days during the sacred months and omit fasting for three days alternately.” He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) joined his three fingers together and left them apart while repeating this sentence thrice.
