Hadith 21720
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me: Keep fast for three days of month, and finish the recitation of the Quran in one month. I and he differed among ourselves on period of time. He said: Fast one day and give it up other day. The narrator 'Ata said: The people differed from my father (in narrating the period of time). Some narrated seven days and others five.
