It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Bedouin man brought a roasted rabbit to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), along with chutney and curry. He placed all these things before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) withheld his hand and did not eat anything from it, and ordered the noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) to eat. The Bedouin also withheld his hand. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him, "Why are you not eating?" He said, "I fast three days every month." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If you want to fast, then fast on the white days (Ayyam al-Beed)."
