Hadith 32
The Book of Fasting
Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messengre of Allah said:
"None should fast one or two days ahead of the month except, someone who had a prior habit for fasting, in which case let him fast." '
أَخْبَرَنِي عِمْرَانُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
لاَ يَتَقَدَّمَنَّ أَحَدٌ الشَّهْرَ بِيَوْمٍ وَلاَ يَوْمَيْنِ إِلاَّ أَحَدٌ كَانَ يَصُومُ صِيَامًا قَبْلَهُ فَلْيَصُمْهُ
