My beloved friend instructed me to observe three things, the witr prayer before sleeping, the two units of the forenoon prayer, and fasting three days of every month.
حدثنا محمد بن جعفر قال حدثنا شعبة عن أبي شمر الضبعي قال سمعت أبا عثمان النهدي يحدث
أوصاني خليلي بثلاث الوتر قبل النوم وركعتي الضحى وصوم ثلاثة أيام من كل شهر
Its isnad is sahih, and it is the same hadith as the previous one. Abu Shimr Dubai, whose lineage traces to Dubaia, a clan of the Arabs, is known by his kunya, and is trustworthy. Abu Uthman Nahdi is Abdul-Rahman bin Mall.
