Hadith #41

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَشْيَمَ قَالَ كَتَبَ اَلْحُسَيْنُ إِلَى اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ رَجُلٌ نَذَرَ أَنْ يَصُومَ أَيَّاماً مَعْلُومَةً فَصَامَ بَعْضَهَا ثُمَّ اِعْتَلَّ فَأَفْطَرَ أَيَبْتَدِئُ فِي صَوْمِهِ أَمْ يَحْتَسِبُ بِمَا مَضَى فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ» يَحْتَسِبُ بِمَا مَضَى«.

Muhammad ibn Yaqub, from a number of our companions, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Ashyam, who said: Al-Husayn wrote to Imam al-Ridha , peace be upon him: “May I be made your ransom, a man vowed to fast known days, so he fasted some of them, then became ill and broke the fast. Does he begin his fast anew, or does he count what has passed?” So the Imam , peace be upon him, wrote: “He counts what has passed.”
