قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَصُومُ هَذِهِ الثَّلَاثَةَ الْأَيَّامِ فِي الشَّهْرِ فَرُبَّمَا سَافَرْتُ وَ رُبَّمَا أَصَابَتْنِي عِلَّةٌ فَيَجِبُ عَلَيَّ قَضَاؤُهَا قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي إِنَّمَا يَجِبُ الْفَرْضُ فَأَمَّا غَيْرُ الْفَرْضِ فَأَنْتَ فِيهِ بِالْخِيَارِ قُلْتُ بِالْخِيَارِ فِي السَّفَرِ وَ الْمَرَضِ قَالَ فَقَالَ الْمَرَضُ قَدْ وَضَعَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَنْكَ وَ السَّفَرُ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَاقْضِهِ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَقْضِهِ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Ahmad Bin Hilal, from Amro Bin Usman, from Uzafir who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘I tend to Fast these three days during the month. So, sometimes I travel, and sometimes an illness hits me. Does it Obligate the making up for it upon me?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘But rather, the Obligatory (Fasts) necessitate it. But, as for the other than the Obligatory (Fasts), so you are with the choice in it’. I said, ‘With the choice during the journey and the illness?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The illness, so Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Exempted it from you, and the journey, if you so desire to, so make up for it, and if you don’t make up for it, so there is no blame upon you’.
