Hadith 4:247
Yahya ibn Salim al-Ta'ifi narrated to us, from Musa ibn 'Uqbah, from Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir, who said: It reached me that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was asked about breaking up the making up of Ramadan [fasts]. He said, "That is up to you." He then said, "Do you see, if one of you had a debt and he paid off a dirham and two dirhams, would that not be a repayment? And Allah is more deserving of pardoning and forgiving."
حدثنا يحيى بن سليم الطائفي عن موسى بن عقبة عن محمد بن المنكدر قال بلغني أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم سئل عن تقطيع قضاء رمضان فقال ذاك إليك فقال أرأيت لو كان على أحدكم دين فقضى الدرهم والدرهمين ألم يكن قضاء والله أحق أن يعفو ويغفر
