Al-Kafi 6328

Translation

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al Washa, from Hammad Bin Usman, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws, said, ‘I heard him^asws saying: ‘Rasool-Allah^saww Fasted until it was said, ‘He^saww would not break’. Then he^saww broke (did not Fast) until it was said, ‘He^saww will never Fast’. Then he^saww Fasted the Fasts of Dawood^as, one day, and one day not. Then he^saww passed away upon Fasting three days during the month. These (three Fasts) equate to Fasting the (whole) month, and they remove <span class="iTxt">Al-Wahr</span> of the chest, and <span class="iTxt">Al-Wahr</span> is the anxiety’. Hammad (the narrator) said, ‘So I said, ‘And which days are these?’ He^asws said: ‘The first Thursday in the month, and the first Wednesday after the ten (days) from it, and the last Thursday in it’. So I said, ‘How did these days come to be the one in which is to be Fasting’. So he^asws said: ‘The ones before us from the communities, whenever the Punishment descended upon any one of these, descended during these days. Thus, Rasool-Allah^saww Fasted during these days, out of fear (upon the Punishment on his^saww community’).
