"I am Al- Bahili who visited you last year

Kiarabu

وعن مجيبة الباهلية عن أبيها أو عمها، أنه أتى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ثم انطلق فأتاه بعد سنة وقد تغيرت حاله وهيئته، فقال: يا رسول الله أما تعرفني؟ قال: "ومن أنت؟" قال: أنا الباهلي الذي جئتك عام الأول. قال: "فما غيرك، وقد كنت حسن الهيئة؟" قال: ما أكلت طعامًا منذ فارقتك إلا بليل. فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم "عذبت نفسك!" ثم قال: "صم شهر الصبر، ويومًا من كل شهر" قال: زدني، فإن بي قوة، قال: " صم يومين" قال: زذني، قال: "صم ثلاثة أيام" قال: زدني. قال: "صم من الحرم واترك، صم من الحرم واترك، صم من الحرم واترك" وقال بأصابعه الثلاث فضمها، ثم أرسلها. ((رواه أبو داود. )).

His appearance had totally changed. He asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) if he had recognized him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) asked, "Who are you?" He replied: ""I am Al- Bahili who visited you last year." The Mjumbe wa Allah (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake) said, "You were quite handsome, what has changed your appearance so much?" He replied, "Since my departure from here, I have not eaten anything except at night." The Mjumbe wa Allah (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake) remarked, "You have put yourself to torture. Observe Saum (kufunga) during the Month of subira (i.e., Ramadan) and fast one day from each month." He submitted, "Permit me to observe more voluntary fasts because I have capacity to do so." The Mjumbe wa Allah (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake) said, "Then observe fasts for two days in every month." He said, "Permit me to observe more." The Mjumbe wa Allah (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake) said, "Observe fasts on three days in every month." He requested that he should be allowed to observe more fasts. The Mjumbe wa Allah (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake) said, "Fast three days during the sacred months and omit kufunga for three days alternately." He (ﷺ) joined his three fingers together and left them apart while repeating this sentence thrice.."
