the Prophet was asked which fast was most virtuous after Ramadan? He said: "Sha'ban in honor of Ramadan" He said: "Which charity is best?" He (pbuh) said: "Charity in Ramadan." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 663)
قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أِيُّ الصَّوْمِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ صَوْمُ شَعْبَانَ تَعْظِيمًا لِرَمَضَانَ قَالَ فَأِيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ صَدَقَةٌ فِي رَمَضَانَ
