حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ الضَّبِّيُّ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ غَيْلاَنَ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ بِمَنْ صَامَ الدَّهْرَ قَالَ " لاَ صَامَ وَلاَ أَفْطَرَ " . أَوْ " لَمْ يَصُمْ وَلَمْ يُفْطِرْ " . وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ وَعِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ وَأَبِي مُوسَى . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ . وَقَدْ كَرِهَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ صِيَامَ الدَّهْرِ وَأَجَازَهُ قَوْمٌ آخَرُونَ وَقَالُوا إِنَّمَا يَكُونُ صِيَامُ الدَّهْرِ إِذَا لَمْ يُفْطِرْ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ وَيَوْمَ الأَضْحَى وَأَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ فَمَنْ أَفْطَرَ هَذِهِ الأَيَّامَ فَقَدْ خَرَجَ مِنْ حَدِّ الْكَرَاهِيَةِ وَلاَ يَكُونُ قَدْ صَامَ الدَّهْرَ كُلَّهُ . هَكَذَا رُوِيَ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الشَّافِعِيِّ . وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ نَحْوًا مِنْ هَذَا وَقَالاَ لاَ يَجِبُ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ أَيَّامًا غَيْرَ هَذِهِ الْخَمْسَةِ الأَيَّامِ الَّتِي نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْهَا يَوْمِ الْفِطْرِ وَيَوْمِ الأَضْحَى وَأَيَّامَ التَّشْرِيقِ .

Qutaibah and Ahmad bin 'Abdah Ad-Dabbi narrated to us: Hammad bin Zaid narrated to us, from Ghaylan bin Jarir, from 'Abdullah bin Ma'bad, from Abu Qatadah, who said: It was asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, what about someone who fasts every day?’ He replied: ‘He has neither fasted nor broken his fast’—or, ‘He neither fasted nor broke his fast.’ Reports on this topic are also narrated from 'Abdullah bin 'Amr, 'Abdullah bin Ash-Shikhkhir, 'Imran bin Husain, and Abu Musa. Abu 'Isa said: The hadith of Abu Qatadah is hasan. Some scholars disliked fasting every day, while others permitted it. They said that the disliked form of continuous fasting is one that includes the Day of Fitr, the Day of Adha, and the Days of Tashriq. Whoever breaks the fast on those days is outside the disliked form and has not fasted the entire year without interruption. This is reported from Malik bin Anas and is the view of Ash-Shafi'i. Ahmad and Ishaq said something similar: one need not abstain from fasting except on the five days prohibited by the Messenger of Allah—the Day of Fitr, the Day of Adha, and the three Days of Tashriq.
