As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh! I hope this finds you close to Allah & in the best of health and Iman, Ameen.
Fasting is something which is just for
Allaah, and Allaah will give multiple rewards without measure for it.
The hadeeth says: “[Allaah says:] Fasting is Mine and it is I Who give
reward for it.” (Al-Bukhaari, Fath, no. 1904)
The virtues of Ayyam al-Beed. Here are some ahadeeth.
Jareer ibn ‘Abdullaah radhiyallaahu ‘anhu narrated that the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam said: “Fasting three days of each month is fasting for a lifetime, and ayyam al-beed are the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth.” (Narrated by al-Nasaa’i (2420); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, (1040)).
"Beed'' is the plural of "Abyad'' which means white. Three days of 13, 14 and 15 of lunar month are called "Al-Ayyam-ul- Beed''
for the reason that their nights are bright because of the moonlight.
The moon begins to diminish gradually after these days.
Abu Dharr radhiyallaahu ‘anhu said: The Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam said to me: “If you fast any part of the month, then fast the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth.” (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, (761); al-Nasaa’i, (2424); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, (1038)).
Insha'Allaah ta'ala, for the month of December, 2012 The White Days will fall on:
13th – Wednesday, December 26, 2012
14th – Thursday, December 27, 2012
15th – Friday, December 28, 2012
In'shaa`Allah let us try to make the effort to fast these three days and be consistent!
Narrated `Aisha bint Abu Bakr (radiAllahu anhumma): The Prophet (salAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam) was asked, "What deeds are loved most by Allah?"
He (salAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said, "The most regular constant deeds even though they may be few." He added, 'Don't take upon yourselves, except the deeds which are within your ability."
