Shahih Muslim - 1977

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Al Mutsanna] dan [Muhammad bin Basysyar] -lafazhnya dari Ibnul Mutsanna- keduanya berkata, Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Ja'far] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syu'bah] dari [Ghailan bin Jarir] bahwa mendengar [Abdullah bin Ma'bad Az Zimani] dari [Abu Qatadah Al Anshari] radliallahu 'anhu, bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pernah ditanya mengenai puasanya, maka serta merta Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam marah, lalu umar pun mengucapkan, "Kami rela Allah sebagai Tuhan, Islam sebagai agama dan Muhammad sebagai Rasul. Kami berlindung kepada Allah, dari murka Allah dan Rasul-Nya dan Bai'at kami sebagai suatu Bai'at." kemudian beliau ditanya tentang puasa sepanjang masa, maka beliau menjawab: "Sebenarnya, ia tidak berpuasa dan tidak pula berbuka." Kemudian beliau ditanya lagi mengenai puasa sehari dan berbuka dua hari, beliau menjawab: "Semoga Allah memberikan kekuatan pada kita untuk melakukannya." Lalu beliau ditanya mengenai puasa pada hari senin, beliau menjawab: "Itu adalah hari, ketika aku dilahirkan dan aku diutus (sebagai Rasul) atau pada hari itulah wahyu diturunkan atasku." Kemudian beliau bersabda: “Puasa tiga hari pada setiap bulan dan ramadan hingga ramadan berikutnya adalah puasa dahr.” Kemudian beliau ditanya tentang puasa pada Arafah, maka beliau menjawab: "Puasa itu akan menghapus dosa-dosa satu tahun yang lalu dan yang akan datang." Kemudian beliau ditanya tentang puasa pada hari 'Asyura`, beliau menjawab: "Ia akan menghapus dosa-dosa sepanjang tahun yang telah berlalu." Dan di dalam hadits ini, yakni dari riwayat Syu'bah, ia berkata; "Dan beliau ditanya tentang puasa hari senin dan kamis." Namun kami tidak menyebutkan puasa kamis, karena menurut kami padanya terdapat Wahm (kekurang akuratan berita). Dan Telah meceritakannya kepada kami [Ubaidullah bin Mu'adz] telah menceritakan kepada kami [bapakku] -dalam riwayat lain- Dan Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Bakr bin Abu Syaibah] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syababah] -dalam riwayat lain- Dan Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ishaq bin Ibrahim] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [An Nadlr bin Syumail] semuanya dari [Syu'bah] dengan isnad ini. Dan Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ahmad bin Sa'id Ad Darimi] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Habban bin Hilal] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Aban Al 'Aththar] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ghailan bin Jarir] dalam isnad ini, sebagaimana haditsnya Syu'bah, hanya saja ia menyebutkan hari Senin, namun tidak menyebutkan hari kamis. (HR. Muslim: 1977)

Abu Qatada al-Ansari (Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) was asked about his fasting. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) felt annoyed. Thereupon 'Umar (Allah be pleased with him) said: We are pleased with Allah as the Lord, with Islam as our Code of Life, with Muhammad as the Messenger and with our pledge (to you for willing and cheerful submission) as a (sacred) commitment. He was then asked about perpetual fasting, whereupon he said: He neither fasted nor did he break it, or he did not fast and he did not break it. He was then asked about fasting for two days and breaking one day. He (the Holy Prophet) said: And who has strength enough to do it? He was asked about fasting for a day and breaking for two days, whereupon he said: May Allah bestow upon us strength to do it. He was then asked about fasting for a day and breaking on the other, whereupon he said: That is the fasting of my brother David (peace be upon him). He was then asked about fasting on Monday, whereupon he said: It was the day on which I was born. on which I was commissioned with prophethood or revelation was sent to me, (and he further) said: Three days' fasting every month and of the whole of Ramadan every year is a perpetual fast. He was asked about fasting on the day of 'Arafa (9th of Dhu'I-Hijja), whereupon he said: It expiates the sins of the preceding year and the coming year. He was asked about fasting on the day of 'Ashura (10th of Muharram), whereupon be said: It expiates the sins of the preceding year. (Imam Muslim said that in this hadith there is a) narration of Imam Shu'ba that he was asked about fasting on Monday and Thursday, but we (Imam Muslim) did not mention Thursday for we found it as an error (in reporting). This hadith has been narrated by Shu'ba with the same chain of transmitters. This hadith has been narrated by Ghailan b. Jarir with the same chain of transmitters, but with one variation, that there has been made mention of Monday and not of Thursday. (Muslim: 1977)
