Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,
Just a Reminder, InshaAllah the three white days (13, 14, and 15) for the month of Shawwaal 1433 will be from this Friday, August 31st - Sunday, September 2nd. Try and fast them if you can.
Prophet (S) said, "Whoever fasts the month of Ramadan and then follows it by fasting six days during the month of Shawwaal will be rewarded as if he had fasted the entire year." [Related by Muslim, at-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, Abu Dawood and Al-Nasaa'ee]
Jareer ibn ‘Abdullaah (rAa) narrated that the Prophet (PBUH) said: “Fasting three days of each month is fasting for a lifetime, and ayaam al-beed are the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth." [Al-Nasaa'i; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheel al-Targheeb]
Qatada ibn Milhan said, "The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to command us to fast the white days: the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth." [Abu Dawud]
Ibn 'Abbas said, "The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) did not fail to fast the white days either when at home or on a journey." [an-Nasa'i]
*****There is a yahoo group titled 'ThreeWhiteDays' that will send email reminders of when these days will be observed for each month.
