Reward of fasting on first Thursday, middle Wednesday and last Thursday of the month
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْیَرِیُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ أَبِی حَمْزَهَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع أَوْ لِأَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع صَوْمُ ثَلَاثَهِ أَیَّامٍ فِی الشَّهْرِ أُؤَخِّرُهَا فِی الصَّیْفِ إِلَی الشِّتَاءِ فَإِنِّی أَجِدُهُنَّ أَهْوَنَ عَلَیَّ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ وَ احْفَظْهَا.
9. It was narrated to us by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to us by Abdillah b. Ja’far al-Himyari from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Isa from al-Hassan b. Mahbub from al-Hussain b. Abi Hamzah who said: The narrator asked Imam Muhammad Baqir عليه السلام or Imam Ja’far Sadiq عليه السلام, “Can I postpone fasting for three days of a month till winter for I would find it easier to fast then?” Imam عليه السلام replied, “Yes, but do not reduce their number.”
