أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا حِبَّانُ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنَ أَبِي الْمِنْهَالِ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَمَرَهُمْ بِصِيَامِ ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامِ الْبِيضِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ هِيَ صَوْمُ الشَّهْرِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
