13. Ṣawm (Fasting)
١٣۔ كتاب الصيام
Reward for fasting Ramadan plus six days of Shawwal amounts to fasting a lifetime
[AI] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever fasts Ramadan, then follows it with six days of Shawwal, it is like fasting a lifetime."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَهُ سِتًّا مِنْ شَوَّالٍ كَانَ كَصِيَامِ الدَّهْرِ».
I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying like this.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَيُّوبَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ ؓ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ بِمِثْلِهِ
Abu Ayyub reported a hadith like this (through another chain of transmitters).
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ ؓ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمِثْلِهِ
