:salam2:
I read somewhere from a authentic hadith that it is sunnah to fast three days in the month if you cant fast the fast of David. My question is do you fast the first Monday of that month then any other two Thursdays? because i have fasted Monday but was unable to fast the Thursday that followed hope someone can help correct me inshallah...
And also i was wondering if anyone can tell where i can listen to the Dua for istikhara because i dont think i can pronounce it correctly and i need it urgently please help....
Oh found the hadith or similar here it is;
It was narrated from Abu Qutaadah al-Ansaari (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was asked about his fasting. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) got angry, then ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) said, “We are content with Allah as our Lord, with Islam as our religion, with Muhammad as our Prophet and with the oath of allegiance (bay’ah) that we have given.” Then he was asked about one who fasts for a lifetime and he said, “He did not fast and he did not break his fast.” [I.e., it becomes a routine for him such that he no longer feels the difference between fasting and not fasting] Then he was asked about fasting two days and not fasting for one day, and he said, “Who is able to do that?” Then he was asked about fasting one day and not fasting for two days, and he said, “Would that Allaah gave us strength for that.” And he was asked about fasting one day and not fasting one day (i.e., fasting alternate days) and he said, “That is the fasting of my brother Dawood (peace be upon him).” And he was asked about fasting on Mondays, and he said, “That is the day on which I was born and the day on which my mission began (or on which Revelation came down to me).” And he said, “Fasting for three days each month and Ramadaan each year is the fast of a lifetime.” And he was asked about fasting on the Day of ‘Arafaah, and he said, “It expiates for the past year and the coming year,” and he was asked about fasting on the Day of ‘Ashoora’, and he said, “It expiates for the past year.” Narrated by Muslim, 1162.
There was also another hadith about a sahaba that fasted a lot and his wife complained and the prophet told him to fast three days a month and he said he could do more than that hope you know which one i am talking about thanks in advance....
