1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ كُلُّ صَوْمٍ يُفَرَّقُ إِلاَّ ثَلاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فِي كَفَّارَةِ الْيَمِينِ.

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘ Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘All fasts can lawfully be completed in different times except the fast which is as expiation for an oath.”’

2ـ وَعَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ صِيَامُ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي كَفَّارَةِ الْيَمِينِ مُتَتَابِعَاتٍ لا يُفْصَلُ بَيْنَهُنَّ.

2. It is narrated from him (narrator of previous Hadith) from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘The fast which is as expiation for an oath must be completed without any interval in between.’”

3ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ السَّبْعَةُ الأَيَّامِ وَالثَّلاثَةُ الأَيَّامِ فِي الْحَجِّ لا يُفَرَّقُ إِنَّمَا هِيَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الثَّلاثَةِ الأَيَّامِ فِي الْيَمِينِ.

3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha’ from Aban from al-Husayn ibn Zayd who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘The seven days and the three days during Hajj are without any interval in between. They are just like three days because of an oath.’”
