Is this true:
‘Fasting of Ramadan and fasting three days every month will remove the impurity and whispering from the heart.’
Answer:
Yes, it is.
Several Sahabah (radiyallahu’anhum) have reported Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) to have said:
‘By fasting during the month of Ramadan and three days of every other (Islamic) month, the rancour/whispers/deceit of the heart is removed.’
(Musnad Ahmad, vol. 5 pg. 363, Sahih Ibn Hibban; Al-Ihsan, Hadith: 6557 and Musnad Bazzar, Hadith: 688, also see: Targhib, vol. 2 pg. 121 and Majma’uz Zawaid, vol. 3 pg. 196)
The Hadith is authentic (sahih).
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,
