[Machine] We fought alongside Abu Ayyub and observed the fast during Ramadan. When we broke our fast, he stood among the people and said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Whoever fasts Ramadan and follows it with six days of Shawwal, it will be as if he fasted the entire year.'" Abu Abdurrahman Utbah ibn Abi Hakim remarked, "This saying is not strong." Muhammad ibn Abdul Karim ibn Muhammad ibn Abdul Rahman ibn Huwaytib ibn Abdul Azeez al-Harani informed me, "Uthman, the son of Amr al-Harani, told us that Umar, meaning the son of Thabit, narrated to us from Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir, who narrated from Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, who said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said similar words." Abu Abdurrahman said, "I have seen this sheikh with books regarding other matters, and these hadiths resemble the hadiths of Muhammad ibn Abi Humayd. I am not sure if he heard them from Muhammad or from those elderly scholars. As for the sheikh, he used to narrate from him without mentioning Muhammad ibn Abi Humayd. So, if these hadiths are his narrations from those elderly scholars and he did not hear them from Muhammad, then he is weak. As for Uthman and Muhammad ibn Abi Humayd, they are not significant in the hadith."
