Abu Dharr Al-Ghifaari said, The Messenger of Allah, Muhammad {Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam} said:

"O Abu Dharr! if you fast three days of every month, then fast the 13th, the 14th and the 15th [these are call the al-ayaam al-beedh, the white days]".

[Note these are dates of the Islaamic Month!] [Ahmad, an-Nasaa'i and at-Tirmithi; Sahih]


The Following Ahadeeth Encourage Fasting on 3 days of Each Month:


1. Abu Dharr Al-Ghifaari said, The Messenger of Allah, Muhammad {Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam} said:

"Whoever fasts from every month three days, it is like fasting the whole year, then Allah revealed what backs this in His book Whoever comes with a good deed, he is rewarded ten folds, one day for ten."

[Ibn Majah and at-Tirmithi].


2. It was narrated from Jareer ibn Abd-Allaah {RA} that, the Prophet {Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam} said:

Fasting three days of each month is fasting for a lifetime, and ayaam al-beed are the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth.

[Narrated by al-Nasaai, 2420; classed as sahih by al-Albaani in Sahih al-Targheeb, 1040]


3. It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah {RA} said:

My close friend [the Prophet {Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam}] advised me to do three things which I will not give up until I die: fasting three days of each month, praying Duha, and sleeping after Witr.

[Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1124; Muslim, 721]


There is broad scope in the command to fast three days, as it says in the hadeeth of Aisha {RA}, but the best days of the month for fasting are the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth, as it says in the other sahih Ahadeeth.

Remember in Prayers
