Ibn Abbas explained the following Qur'anic verse: "O ye who believe! fasting is
prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you" During the
lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ), when the people offered night prayer, they were
asked to abstain from food and drink and (intercourse with) women, they kept
fast till the next night. A man betrayed himself and had intercourse with his
wife after he had offered the night prayer, and he did not break his fast. So
Allah, the Exalted, intended to make it (fasting) easy for those who survived,
thus providing a concession and utility. Allah, the Glorified, said: "Allah
knoweth what ye used to do secretly among yourselves." By this Allah benefited
the people and provided concession and ease to them.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The month consists of twenty-nine days, but do not fast
till you sight it (the moon) and do not break your fast till you sight it. If
the weather is cloudy, calculate it thirty days. When the twenty-ninth of
Sha'ban came, Ibn Umar would send someone (who tried) to sight the moon for him.
If it was sighted, then well and good; in case it was not sighted, and there was
no cloud and dust before him (on the horizon), he would not keep fast the next
day. If there appeared (on the horizon) before him cloud or dust, he would fast
the following day. Ibn Umar would end his fasting alone with the people, and did
not follow this calculation.

happened to you ? He said: I had intercourse with my wife in Ramadan (while I
was fasting). He asked: Can you set a slave free ? He said: No. He again asked:
Can you fast for two consecutive months ? He said: No. He asked: Can you provide
food for sixty poor people ? He said: No. He said: Sit down. Then a huge basket
containing dates ('araq) was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ). He then said to him:
Give it as sadaqah (i.e. alms). He said: Messenger of Allah, there is no poorer

A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: How do you fast, Messenger of Allah? The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) became angry at what he said.
When Umar observed this (his anger), he said: We are satisfied with Allah as
Lord, with Islam as religion, and with Muhammad as Prophet. We seek refuge in
Allah from the anger of Allah, and from the anger of His Apostle. Umar continued
to repeat these words till his anger cooled down. He then asked: Messenger of
Allah, what is the position of one who observes a perpetual fast?
He replied: May he not fast or break his fast. Musaddad said in his version: He
has neither fasted nor broken his fast. The narrator, Ghaylan, doubted the
actual wordings.
He asked: What is the position of one who fasts two days and does not fast one
day?
He said: Is anyone able to do that? He asked: What is the position of one who
fasts every second day (i.e. fasts one day and does not fasts the next day)?
He (the Prophet) said: This is the fast that David observed.
He asked: Messenger of Allah, what is the position of one who fasts one day and
breaks it for two days? He replied: I wish I were given the power to observe
that. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The observance of three days' fast
every month and of one Ramadan to the other (i.e. the fast of Ramadan every
year) is (equivalent to) a perpetual fast. I seek from Allah that fasting on the
day of Arafah may atone for the sins of the preceding and the coming year, and I
