٣ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ فُضَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِي الصَّبَّاحِ الْكِنَانِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ طَائِفَةٌ ثُمَّ أَدْرَكَهُ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانٍ قَابِلٌ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَصُومَ وَأَنْ يُطْعِمَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مِسْكِيناً فَإِنْ كَانَ مَرِيضاً فِيمَا بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى أَدْرَكَهُ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانٍ قَابِلٌ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ الصِّيَامُ إِنْ صَحَّ وَإِنْ تَتَابَعَ الْمَرَضُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَصِحَّ فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُطْعِمَ لِكُلِّ يَوْمٍ مِسْكِيناً. 
3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ‘Isma‘il from Muhammad ibn Fudayl from abu al-Sabbah al-Kinaniy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about a man who owes several days of fasting of the month of Ramadan and the next month of Ramadan comes. He (the Imam) said, ‘He is required to fast and feed one destitute for every day. If he had remained ill in between until the next month of Ramadan, he only owes fasting if he becomes well, but if illness continues and he does not become well, he is required to feed one destitute for every day.’”
