6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) was asked about fasting while one is at home. He answered, ‘It is three days every month. They are a Thursday of one week, Wednesday of one week and Thursday of another week.’ And he said: Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.) has said, “Fasting for a month is patience. Three days of fasting of every month removes temptation. Fasting of three days of every month is (like) fasting all the time. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, says, ‘One who does a good deed receives tenfold reward.’ (6:160)’”
6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ الصَّوْمِ فِي الْحَضَرِ فَقَالَ
ثَلاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ فِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ الْخَمِيسُ مِنْ جُمْعَةٍ وَالأَرْبِعَاءُ مِنْ جُمْعَةٍ وَالْخَمِيسُ مِنْ جُمْعَةٍ أُخْرَى وَقَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) صِيَامُ شَهْرِ الصَّبْرِ وَثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ يَذْهَبْنَ بِبَلابِلِ الصُّدُورِ وَصِيَامُ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ صِيَامُ الدَّهْرِ إِنَّ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ مَنْ جاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثالِها.
