Fasting on Bright Days

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised a man to fast on the bright days of the month instead of fasting three days each month.

It was narrated that Ibn Al- Hawtakiyyah said: "Umar, May Allah be pleased with us on the day when we stopped at Al-Qaha?' Abu Dharr said: 'I was. A rabbit was brought to the Messenger Allah and the man who brought it said: I saw it bleeding (menstruating). The Prophet did not eat, then he said: "Eat". A man said: "I am fasting". He said: "What fast are you observing?" He said: "Three days each month" He said: "Why don't you fast the bright shining days, the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، وَعَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْحَوْتَكِيَّةِ، قَالَ قَالَ عُمَرُ رضى الله عنه مَنْ حَاضِرُنَا يَوْمَ الْقَاحَةِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ أَنَا أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِأَرْنَبٍ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي جَاءَ بِهَا إِنِّي رَأَيْتُهَا تَدْمَى ‏.‏ فَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ قَالَ ‏"‏ كُلُوا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَمَا صَوْمُكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلاَثَةُ أَيَّامٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَأَيْنَ أَنْتَ عَنِ الْبِيضِ الْغُرِّ ثَلاَثَ عَشْرَةَ وَأَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ وَخَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about fasting and how it should be done. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was asked by a man why he was fasting three days each month, to which the Prophet replied that he should fast on the bright shining days of the month instead. These are usually referred to as 'Ayyam Al-Beedh' or 'the white days', which are usually the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth day of every Islamic lunar month. This hadith teaches us that we should strive to do more good deeds than what is required from us, such as fasting more than what is necessary in order to gain rewards from Allah SWT. It also teaches us that we should seek knowledge from those who have it in order to better understand our religion and practice it correctly.
