[Machine] Narrated from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : "Whoever fasts Ramadan and follows it with six days of Shawwal, it is as if he fasted the entire year." Abu Abdur-Rahman Saad ibn Sa'id said, "It is a weak narration." Likewise, Ahmad ibn Hanbal said, "They are three brothers: Yahya ibn Sa'id ibn Qays, who is trustworthy and reliable, and Abdul Rabih ibn Sa'id, who is also acceptable, and Saad ibn Sa'id, the third, who is weak."
