Muwatta Malik #690
Fasting
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَهْلَ الْعِلْمِ، يَقُولُونَ لاَ بَأْسَ بِصِيَامِ الدَّهْرِ إِذَا أَفْطَرَ الأَيَّامَ الَّتِي نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ صِيَامِهَا وَهِيَ أَيَّامُ مِنًى وَيَوْمُ الأَضْحَى وَيَوْمُ الْفِطْرِ فِيمَا بَلَغَنَا . قَالَ وَذَلِكَ أَحَبُّ مَا سَمِعْتُ إِلَىَّ فِي ذَلِكَ .
Yahya related to me from Malik that he used to hear the people of
knowledge say,"There is no harm in fasting continuously as long as one
breaks the fast on the days on which the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, forbade fasting, namely, the days of
Mina, the day of Adha and the day of Fitr, according to what we have
heard."
Malik said, "This is what I like most out of what I
have heard about the matter."
