That the Prophet would not fast any month of the year in full except Shaban and he used to join it to Ramadan. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2353)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَصُومُ مِنَ السَّنَةِ شَهْرًا تَامًّا يُعْلَمُ إِلَّا شَعْبَانَ يَصِلُ بِهِ رَمَضَانَ  

She never saw the Prophet ﷺ fasting the whole month except Sha'ban which he combined with Ramadan. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2336)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ «لَمْ يَكُنْ يَصُومُ مِنَ السَّنَةِ شَهْرًا تَامًّا إِلَّا شَعْبَانَ يَصِلُ بِهِ رَمَضَانَ»  

"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I do not see you fasting any month as much as Shaban.' He said: 'That is a month to which people do not pay much attention, between Rajab and Ramadan. It is a month in which the deeds are taken up to the Lord of the worlds, and I like that my deeds be taken up when I am fasting."'  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمْ أَرَكَ تَصُومُ شَهْرًا مِنَ الشُّهُورِ مَا تَصُومُ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ قَالَ ذَلِكَ شَهْرٌ يَغْفُلُ النَّاسُ عَنْهُ بَيْنَ رَجَبٍ وَرَمَضَانَ وَهُوَ شَهْرٌ تُرْفَعُ فِيهِ الأَعْمَالُ إِلَى رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ فَأُحِبُّ أَنْ يُرْفَعَ عَمَلِي وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ  

"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I do not see you fasting any month as much as Shaban.' He said: 'That is a month to which people do not pay much attention, between Rajab and Ramadan. It is a month in which the deeds are taken up to the Lord of the worlds, and I like that my deeds be taken up when I am fasting."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2357)  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَمْ أَرَكَ تَصُومُ مِنَ شَهْرٍ مِنَ الشُّهُورِ مَا تَصُومُ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ قَالَ «ذَلِكَ شَهْرٌ يَغْفُلُ النَّاسُ عَنْهُ بَيْنَ رَجَبَ وَرَمَضَانَ وَهُوَ شَهْرٌ تُرْفَعُ فِيهِ الْأَعْمَالُ إِلَى رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ فَأُحِبُّ أَنْ يُرْفَعَ عَمَلِي وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ»  

I said: Messenger of Allah, I do not see you fasting ˹more˺ in any month like you fast in Shaʿbān. He said, "People are heedless in that month between Rajab and Ramaḍān and it is the month where deeds are raised up to the Lord of the worlds. Therefore I prefer that my deeds are raised up while I'm fasting."  

قُلتُ: يَا رَسُولَ الله! لَمْ أَرَاكَ تَصُومُ مِنْ شَهْرٍ مِنَ الشُّهُورِ مَا تَصُومُ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ؟ قَالَ: «ذَلِكَ شَهْرٌ يَغْفُلُ النَّاسُ عَنْهُ بَيْنَ رَجبٍ وَرَمَضَانَ، وَهُوَ شَهْرٌ تُرْفَعُ فِيهِ الأعْمَالُ إِلَى رَبَ الْعَالمِينَ، فَأُحِبُّ أنْ يُرْفَعَ عَمَلِى وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ۔»  

I was a man who was more given than others to sexual intercourse with women. When the month of Ramadan came, I feared lest I should have intercourse with my wife, and this evil should remain with me till the morning. So I made my wife like my mother's back to me till the end of Ramadan. But one night when she was waiting upon me, something of her was revealed. Suddenly I jumped upon her. When the morning came I went to my people and informed them about this matter. I said: Go along with me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. They said: No, by Allah. So I went to the Prophet (peace be upon him and informed him of the matter. He said: Have you really committed it, Salamah? I said: I committed it twice, Messenger of Allah. I am content with the Commandment of Allah, the Exalted; so take a decision about me according to what Allah has shown you. He said: Free a slave. I said: By Him Who sent you with truth, I do not possess a neck other than this: and I struck the surface of my neck. He said: Then fast two consecutive months. I said: Whatever I suffered is due to fasting. He said: Feed sixty poor people with a wasq of dates. I said: By Him Who sent you with truth, we passed the night hungry; there was no food in our house. He said: Then go to the collector of sadaqah of Banu Zurayq; he must give it to you. Then feed sixty poor people with a wasq of dates; and you and your family eat the remaining dates. Then I came back to my people, and said (to them): I found with you poverty and bad opinion; and I found with the Prophet ﷺ prosperity and good opinion. He has commanded me to give alms to you. Ibn al-Ala' added: Ibn Idris said: Bayadah is a sub-clan of Banu Zurayq.

"I was a man who had a lot of desire for women, and I do not think there was any man who had as great a share of that as me. When Ramadan began, I declared Zihar upon my wife (to last) until Ramadan ended. While she was talking to me one night, part of her body became uncovered. I jumped on her and had intercourse with her. The next morning I went to my people and told them, and said to them: 'Ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for me.' They said: 'We will not do that, lest Allah reveal Quran concerning us or the Messenger of Allah ﷺ says, something about us, and it will be a lasting source of disgrace for us. Rather we will leave you to deal with it yourself. Go yourself and tell the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about your problem.' So I went out and when I came to him, I told him what happened. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Did you really do that?' I said: 'I really did that, and here I am, O Messenger of Allah. ﷺ I will bear Allah’s ruling on me with patience.' He said: 'Free a slave.' I said: 'By the One Who sent you with the truth, I do not own anything but myself.' He said: 'Fast for two consecutive months.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, the thing that happened to me was only because of fasting.' He said: 'Then give charity, or feed sixty poor persons.' I said: 'By the One Who sent you with the truttu we spent last night with no dinner.' He said: 'Then go to the collector of charity of Banu Zuraiq, and tell him to give you something, then feed sixty poor persons, and benefit from the rest.'"

كُنْتُ امْرَأً أُصِيبُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مَا لَا يُصِيبُ غَيْرِي فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ خِفْتُ أَنْ أُصِيبَ فِي لَيْلِي شَيْئًا فَيَتَتَابَعَ بِي ذَلِكَ إِلَى أَنْ أُصْبِحَ قَالَ فَتَظَاهَرْتُ إِلَى أَنْ يَنْسَلِخَ فَبَيْنَا هِيَ لَيْلَةً تَخْدُمُنِي إِذْ تَكَشَّفَ لِي مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ فَمَا لَبِثْتُ أَنْ نَزَوْتُ عَلَيْهَا فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ خَرَجْتُ إِلَى قَوْمِي فَأَخْبَرْتُهُمْ وَقُلْتُ امْشُوا مَعِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا لَا وَاللَّهِ لَا نَمْشِي مَعَكَ مَا نَأْمَنُ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ فِيكَ الْقُرْآنُ أَوْ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِيكَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَقَالَةٌ يَلْزَمُنَا عَارُهَا وَلَنُسْلِمَنَّكَ بِجَرِيرَتِكَ فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَصَصْتُ عَلَيْهِ قصتي فَقَالَ يَا سَلَمَةُ «أَنْتَ بِذَاكَ» قُلْتُ أَنَا بِذَاكَ قَالَ يَا سَلَمَةُ «أَنْتَ بِذَاكَ» قُلْتُ أَنَا بِذَاكَ قَالَ يَا سَلَمَةُ «أَنْتَ بِذَاكَ» قُلْتُ أَنَا بِذَاكَ وَهَا أَنَا صَابِرٌ نَفْسِي فَاحْكُمْ فِيَّ مَا أَرَاكَ اللَّهُ قَالَ «فَأَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً» قَالَ «فَضَرَبْتُ صَفْحَةَ رَقَبَتِي» فَقُلْتُ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَصْبَحْتُ أَمْلِكُ رَقَبَةً غَيْرَهَا قَالَ «فَصُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ» قُلْتُ وَهَلْ أَصَابَنِي الَّذِي أَصَابَنِي إِلَّا فِي الصِّيَامِ؟ قَالَ «فَأَطْعِمْ وَسْقًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا» فَقُلْتُ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَقَدْ بِتْنَا لَيْلَتَنَا وَحْشَى مَا لَنَا مِنَ الطَّعَامِ قَالَ فَانْطَلِقْ إِلَى صَاحِبِ صَدَقَةِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ فَلْيَدْفَعْهَا إِلَيْكَ وَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا وَسْقًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ وَكُلْ بَقِيَّتَهُ أَنْتَ وَعِيَالُكَ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُ قَوْمِي فَقُلْتُ وَجَدْتُ عِنْدَكُمُ الضِّيقَ وَسُوءَ الرَّأْيِ وَوَجَدْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ السَّعَةَ وَحُسْنَ الرَّأْيِ وَقَدْ أَمَرني بِصَدَقَتِكُمْ  

“I was a man who had an issue with intercourse with a women that none other than me had. When (the month of) Ramadan entered, I pronounced Zihar upon my wife (to last) until the end of Ramadan, fearing that I might have an encounter with her during the night, and I would continue doing that until daylight came upon me, and I would not be able to stop. One night while she was serving me, something of her became exposed for me, so I rushed myself upon her. When the morning came I went to my people to inform them about what happened to me. I said: ‘Accompany me to the Messenger of Allah to inform him about my case.’ They said: ‘No by Allah! We shall not do that, we feat that something will be revealed about us in the Qur’an, or the Messenger of Allah might say something about us, the disgrace of which will remain upon us. But you do and do whatever you want.’” He said: “So I left and I went to the Messenger of Allah, and informed him of my case. He said: ‘You are the one who did that?” I said: ‘I am the one.’ He said: ‘You are the one who did that?” I said: ‘I am the one.’ He said: ‘You are the one who did that?” I said: ‘I am the one, it is before you, so give me Allah’s judgment, for I shall be patient with that.’ He said: ‘Free a slave.’” He said: “I struck the sides of my neck with me hands, and said: ‘No by the One Who sent you with the Truth! I possess nothing besides it.’ He said: ‘Then fast for two months’ I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Did this occur to me other than when I was fasting?’ He said: ‘Then feed sixty poor people.’ I said: ‘By the One Who sent you with the Truth! We have spent these nights of ours hungry without an evening meal.’ He said: ‘Go to the one with the charity from Banu Ruzaiq, tell him to give it to you, then feed a Wasq of it, on your behalf, to sixty poor people. Then help yourself and your dependants with the remainder of it.’” He said: “I returned to my people and said: ‘I found dejection and bad ideas with you, and I found liberalness and blessing with the Messenger of Allah. He ordered me to take your charity, so give it to me.’ So they gave it to me.” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3299)   

كُنْتُ امْرَأًً قَدْ أُوتِيتُ مِنْ جِمَاعِ النِّسَاءِ مَا لَمْ يُؤْتَ غَيْرِي فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ رَمَضَانُ ظَاهَرْتُ مِنِ امْرَأَتِي مَخَافَةَ أَنْ أُصِيبَ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا فِي بَعْضِ اللَّيْلِ وَأَتَتَابَعَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَلَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَنْزِعَ حَتَّى يُدْرِكَنِي الصُّبْحُ فَبَيْنَمَا هِيَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ تَخْدُمُنِي إِذَا انْكَشَفَ لِي مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ فَوَثَبْتُ عَلَيْهَا فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ غَدَوْتُ عَلَى قَوْمِي فَأَخْبَرْتُهُمْ خَبَرِي فَقُلْتُ انْطَلِقُوا مَعِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا لَا وَاللَّهِ لَا نَذْهَبُ مَعَكَ نَخَافُ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ فِينَا قُرْآنٌ وَيَقُولُ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَقَالَةً يَبْقَى عَلَيْنَا عَارُهَا فَاذْهَبْ أَنْتَ فَاصْنَعْ مَا بَدَا لَكَ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ خَبَرِي فَقَالَ «أَنْتَ ذَاكَ؟» فَقُلْتُ أَنَا ذَاكَ فَاقْضِ فِي حُكْمِ اللَّهِ فَإِنِّي صَابِرٌ مُحْتَسِبٌ قَالَ «أَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً» فَضَرَبْتُ صَفْحَةَ عُنُقِ رَقَبَتِي بِيَدِي فَقُلْتُ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَصْبَحْتُ أَمْلِكُ غَيْرَهَا قَالَ «صُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَهَلْ أَصَابَنِي مَا أَصَابَنِي إِلَّا فِي الصِّيَامِ قَالَ «فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَقَدْ بِتْنَا لَيْلَتَنَا هَذِهِ وَحْشًا مَا نَجِدُ عَشَاءً قَالَ «انْطَلِقْ إِلَى صَاحِبِ الصَّدَقَةِ صَدَقَةِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ فَلْيَدْفَعْهَا إِلَيْكَ فَأَطْعِمْ مِنْهَا وَسْقًا سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا وَاسْتَعِنْ بِسَائِرِهَا عَلَى عِيَالِكَ» فَأَتَيْتُ قَوْمِي فَقُلْتُ وَجَدْتُ عِنْدَكُمُ الضِّيقَ «»  

"I was a man who had a lot of desire for women, and I do not think there was any man who had as great a share of that as me. When Ramadan began, I declared Zihar upon my wife (to last) until Ramadan ended. While she was talking to me one night, part of her body became uncovered. I jumped on her and had intercourse with her. The next morning I went to my people and told them, and said to them: 'Ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for me.' They said: 'We will not do that, lest Allah reveal Quran concerning us or the Messenger of Allah ﷺ says, something about us, and it will be a lasting source of disgrace for us. Rather we will leave you to deal with it yourself. Go yourself and tell the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about your problem.' So I went out and when I came to him, I told him what happened. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Did you really do that?' I said: 'I really did that, and here I am, O Messenger of Allah. ﷺ I will bear Allah’s ruling on me with patience.' He said: 'Free a slave.' I said: 'By the One Who sent you with the truth, I do not own anything but myself.' He said: 'Fast for two consecutive months.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, the thing that happened to me was only because of fasting.' He said: 'Then give charity, or feed sixty poor persons.' I said: 'By the One Who sent you with the truttu we spent last night with no dinner.' He said: 'Then go to the collector of charity of Banu Zuraiq, and tell him to give you something, then feed sixty poor persons, and benefit from the rest.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2062)

It is not allowable for a woman to keep (voluntary) fast when her husband is present without his permission, and she may not allow anyone to enter his house without his permission.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ تَصُومُ الْمَرْأَةُ وَبَعْلُهَا شَاهِدٌ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ غَيْرَ رَمَضَانَ وَلاَ تَأْذَنُ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَهُوَ شَاهِدٌ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "A woman should not observe fasting for one day without the permission of her husband, except during Ramadan."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَصُومُ الْمَرْأَةُ يَوْمًا وَاحِدًا وَزَوْجُهَا شَاهِدٌ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ إِلَّا رَمَضَانَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allahﷺ said, "A woman should not fast voluntarily for a day except with the permission of her husband."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَصُومَنَّ امْرَأَةٌ يَوْمًا سِوَى شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَزَوْجُهَا شَاهِدٌ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ»  

"لَا تَصُم المَرْأةُ وَبَعْلُها شَاهِدٌ إلا بِإِذْنِهِ غَيرَ رَمَضَانَ، ولَا تَأذَنْ فِي بَيتِهِ وهُو شَاهِدٌ إلا بِإِذْنِهِ، وَمَا أَنْفَقَتْ مِنْ كَسْبِهِ مِنْ غَيرِ أمْرِهِ فَإنَّ نِصْفَ أَجْرِهِ لَهُ".  

The Prophet ﷺ used to observe i'tikaf during the last ten days of Ramadan. One year he did not observe i'tikaf. When the next year came, he observed i'tikaf for twenty nights (i.e. days).  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَلَمْ يَعْتَكِفْ عَامًا فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْعَامُ الْمُقْبِلُ اعْتَكَفَ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً  

"The Prophet would perform I'tikaf during the last ten (nights) of Ramadan. One year he did not perform I'tikaf, so he performed I'tikaf for twenty (nights) in the following year."  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَعْتَكِفُ فِي الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَلَمْ يَعْتَكِفْ عَامًا فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ اعْتَكَفَ عِشْرِينَ  

The Prophet ﷺ used to spend the last ten days of Ramadan in I’tikaf. One year he was traveling, so the following year he spent twenty days in I’tikaf.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَسَافَرَ عَامًا فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ اعْتَكَفَ عِشْرِينَ يَوْمًا  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ, it was narrated that he used to observe i'tikaf during the last ten days of the month of Ramadan. But in the year he passed away, he observed i'tikaf for twenty days.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْعَامُ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ اعْتَكَفَ عِشْرِينَ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to practice Iʿtikaf in the last ten days of the month of Ramadan. (Using translation from Bukhārī 2025)  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَعْتَكِفُ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَلَمْ يَعْتَكِفْ عَامًا فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْعَامُ الْمُقْبِلُ اعْتَكَفَ عِشْرِينَ»  

The Prophet ﷺ used to observe i'tikaf during the last ten days of Ramadan. One year he did not observe i'tikaf. When the next year came, he observed i'tikaf for twenty nights (i.e. days). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2463)   

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَعْتَكِفُ الْأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَسَافَرَ عَامًا فَلَمْ يَعْتَكِفْ وَاعْتَكَفَ مِنَ الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to observe I'tikaf during the last ten nights of Ramadan when he was residing in Mecca. But when he traveled, he would observe I'tikaf for twenty nights in the following year."  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ مُقِيمًا يَعْتَكِفُ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَإِذَا سَافَرَ اعْتَكَفَ مِنَ الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ عِشْرِينَ»  

Ibn 'Umar (Allah be pleased with both of them) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to observe i'tikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan. (Using translation from Muslim 1171a)  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَعْتَكِفُ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَسَافَرَ وَلَمْ يَعْتَكِفْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ اعْتَكَفَ عِشْرِينَ يَوْمًا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to observe Itikaf during the last ten days of Ramadan when he was staying in one place. However, when he traveled, he would observe Itikaf for twenty days in the following year.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ مُقِيمًا يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَإِذَا سَافَرَ اعْتَكَفَ مِنَ الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ عِشْرِينَ  

[Machine] The passage translates to: "It is narrated from the Prophet ﷺ that he used to observe itikaf during the last ten days of Ramadan. However, in the year he passed away, he observed itikaf for twenty days."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ «يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْعَامُ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ اعْتَكَفَ عِشْرِينَ»  

The Prophet ﷺ used to observe i'tikaf during the last ten days of Ramadan. One year he did not observe i'tikaf. When the next year came, he observed i'tikaf for twenty nights (i.e. days). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2463)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ «يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَسَافَرَ عَامًا فَلَمْ يَعْتَكِفْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْعَامُ الْمُقْبِلُ اعْتَكَفَ عِشْرِينَ»

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ «يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَسَافَرَ عَامًا فَلَمْ يَعْتَكِفْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ قَابِلٌ اعْتَكَفَ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً الِاجْتِهَادُ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ وَالْتِمَاسُ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فِيهَا»  

The Prophet ﷺ used to spend the last ten days of Ramadan in I’tikaf. One year he was traveling, so the following year he spent twenty days in I’tikaf. (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1770)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَسَافَرَ عَامًا فَلَمْ يَعْتَكِفْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنْ قَابِلٍ اعْتَكَفَ عِشْرِينَ يَوْمًا وَرُوِيَ فِي ذَلِكَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ  

"عَنْ أُبىٍّ قَالَ: إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، فَسَافَرَ عَامًا فَلَمْ يَعْتَكِفْ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنْ قَابِلٍ اعْتَكَفَ عِشْرِينَ يَوْمًا".  

The messenger of Marwan whom he sent to Umm Ma'qil reported to me. She said: AbuMa'qil accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during hajj. When he came (to her) she said: You know that hajj is incumbent on me. They walked until they visited him (i.e. the Prophet) and she asked (him): Messenger of Allah, hajj is due from me, and AbuMa'qil has a camel. AbuMa'qil said: She spoke the truth, I have dedicated it to the cause of Allah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Give it to her, that is in the cause of Allah. So he gave the camel to her. She then said: Messenger of Allah, I am a woman who has become aged and ill. Is there any action which would be sufficient for me as my hajj? He replied: umrah performed during Ramadan is sufficient as hajj.  

أَخْبَرَنِي رَسُولُ مَرْوَانَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ إِلَى أُمِّ مَعْقِلٍ قَالَتْ كَانَ أَبُو مَعْقِلٍ حَاجًّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ قَالَتْ أُمُّ مَعْقِلٍ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ عَلَىَّ حَجَّةً فَانْطَلَقَا يَمْشِيَانِ حَتَّى دَخَلاَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ عَلَىَّ حَجَّةً وَإِنَّ لأَبِي مَعْقِلٍ بَكْرًا قَالَ أَبُو مَعْقِلٍ صَدَقَتْ جَعَلْتُهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَعْطِهَا فَلْتَحُجَّ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَأَعْطَاهَا الْبَكْرَ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ قَدْ كَبِرْتُ وَسَقِمْتُ فَهَلْ مِنْ عَمَلٍ يُجْزِئُ عَنِّي مِنْ حَجَّتِي قَالَ عُمْرَةٌ فِي رَمَضَانَ تُجْزِئُ حَجَّةً  

[Machine] Marwan's messenger informed me that he was sent to Umm Maqil. He said that Abu Maqil came with the Prophet ﷺ as a pilgrim. When Abu Maqil arrived, Umm Maqil said, "You know that I have a Hajj obligation and you have a young camel, so give it to me so that I can perform Hajj on it." He said to her, "You know that I have dedicated it for the sake of Allah." She said, "Then give me the straw of your date-palm trees." He said, "You know that it is the provision for my family." She said, "But I talk to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he speaks to me." They continued walking until they entered upon him (the Prophet). She said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have a Hajj obligation and my husband has a young camel." Abu Maqil said, "You have spoken the truth; I have devoted it to the sake of Allah." The Prophet said, "Give it to her and let her perform Hajj on it, for it is dedicated to the sake of Allah." When he gave her the young camel, she said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am an old woman and I am sick. Is there any alternative act that can compensate for my Hajj obligation?" He said, "Perform `Umrah in Ramadan, for it will compensate for your Hajj obligation."  

أَخْبَرَنِي رَسُولُ مَرْوَانَ الَّذِي أُرْسِلَ إِلَى أُمِّ مَعْقِلٍ قَالَ قَالَتْ جَاءَ أَبُو مَعْقِلٍ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حَاجًّا فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ أَبُو مَعْقِلٍ قَالَ قَالَتْ أُمُّ مَعْقِلٍ إِنَّكَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ عَلَيَّ حَجَّةً وَأَنَّ عِنْدَكَ بَكْرًا فَأَعْطِنِي فَلْأَحُجَّ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهَا إِنَّكِ قَدْ عَلِمْتِ أَنِّي قَدْ جَعَلْتُهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَتْ فَأَعْطِنِي صِرَامَ نَخْلِكَ قَالَ قَدْ عَلِمْتِ أَنَّهُ قُوتُ أَهْلِي قَالَتْ فَإِنِّي مُكَلِّمَةٌ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَذَاكِرَتُهُ لَهُ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَا يَمْشِيَانِ حَتَّى دَخَلَا عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ عَلَيَّ حَجَّةً وَإِنَّ لِأَبِي مَعْقِلٍ بَكْرًا قَالَ أَبُو مَعْقِلٍ صَدَقَتْ جَعَلْتُهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَ أَعْطِهَا فَلْتَحُجَّ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَعْطَاهَا الْبَكْرَ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ قَدْ كَبِرْتُ وَسَقِمْتُ فَهَلْمِنْ عَمَلٍ يُجْزِئُ عَنِّي مِنْ حَجَّتِي؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ عُمْرَةٌ فِي رَمَضَانَ تُجْزِئُ لِحَجَّتِكِ  

[Machine] His mother Zainab went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, Abu Ma'qil promised me that he would not perform Hajj without me, so he performed Hajj on his camel and I was unable to bear it. I asked him for a young she-camel, but he said it was the provision for his children. I asked him for his older she-camel, but he said it was for the sake of Allah and he would not give it to me. Abu Ma'qil, what do you say, O mother of Ma'qil?" She said, "You have spoken the truth." He said, "Give her your young camel, for indeed, Hajj is the path of Allah." So he gave her his young camel. She said, "I am a woman who is sick and old, and I fear that I will not be able to perform Hajj before I die. Is there anything that can compensate for the Hajj?" He said, "Yes, performing Umrah in Ramadan is equivalent to Hajj." So she performed Umrah in Ramadan.  

أَنَّ أُمَّهُ زَيْنَبَ أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبَا مَعْقِلٍ كَانَ وَعَدَنِي أَنْ لَا يَحُجَّ إِلَّا وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَحَجَّ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ وَلَمْ أُطِقْ فَسَأَلْتُهُ جِدَادَ نَخْلِهِ فَقَالَ هُوَ قُوتُ عِيَالِي وَسَأَلْتُهُ بِكْرًا عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ هُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ لَسْتُ أُعْطِيكِهِ فَقَالَ «أَبَا مَعْقِلٍ مَا تَقُولُ أُمُّ مَعْقِلٍ؟» فَقَالَ صَدَقَتْ قَالَ «أَعْطِهَا بِكْرَكَ فَإِنَّ الْحَجَّ سَبِيلُ اللهِ» فَأَعْطَاهَا بِكْرَهُ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ قَدْ سَقِمْتُ وَكَبُرْتُ وَأَخَافُ أَنْ لَا أُدْرِكَ الْحَجَّ حَتَّى أَمُوتَ فَهَلْ شَيْءٌ يُجْزِئُ عَنِ الْحَجِّ؟ فَقَالَ «نَعَمْ عُمْرَةٌ فِي رَمَضَانَ تَعْدِلُ حَجَّةً» فَاعْتَمَرَتْ فِي رَمَضَانَ  

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the Farewell Pilgrimage, and we had a camel, AbuMa'qil dedicated it to the cause of Allah. Then we suffered from a disease, and AbuMa'qil died. The Prophet ﷺ went out (for hajj). When he finished the hajj, I came to him. He said (to me): Umm Ma'qil, what prevented you from coming out for hajj along with us? She said: We resolved (to do so), but AbuMa'qil died. We had a camel on which we could perform hajj, but AbuMa'qil had bequeathed it to the cause of Allah. He said: Why did you not go out (for hajj) upon it, for hajj is in the cause of Allah? If you miss this hajj along with us, perform umrah during Ramadan, for it is like hajj. She used to say: hajj is hajj, and umrah is umrah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said it to me: I do not know whether it was peculiar to me.  

لَمَّا حَجَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَجَّةَ الْوَدَاعِ وَكَانَ لَنَا جَمَلٌ فَجَعَلَهُ أَبُو مَعْقِلٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَأَصَابَنَا مَرَضٌ وَهَلَكَ أَبُو مَعْقِلٍ وَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ حَجِّهِ جِئْتُهُ فَقَالَ يَا أُمَّ مَعْقِلٍ مَا مَنَعَكِ أَنْ تَخْرُجِي مَعَنَا قَالَتْ لَقَدْ تَهَيَّأْنَا فَهَلَكَ أَبُو مَعْقِلٍ وَكَانَ لَنَا جَمَلٌ هُوَ الَّذِي نَحُجُّ عَلَيْهِ فَأَوْصَى بِهِ أَبُو مَعْقِلٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَهَلاَّ خَرَجْتِ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّ الْحَجَّ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَأَمَّا إِذْ فَاتَتْكِ هَذِهِ الْحَجَّةُ مَعَنَا فَاعْتَمِرِي فِي رَمَضَانَ فَإِنَّهَا كَحَجَّةٍ فَكَانَتْ تَقُولُ الْحَجُّ حَجَّةٌ وَالْعُمْرَةُ عُمْرَةٌ وَقَدْ قَالَ هَذَا لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا أَدْرِي أَلِيَ خَاصَّةً  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ intended to perform hajj. A woman said to her husband: Let me perform hajj along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: I have nothing on which I can let you perform hajj. She said: You may perform hajj on your such-and-such camel. He said: That is dedicated to the cause of Allah, the Exalted. He then came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: My wife has conveyed her greetings and the blessings of Allah to you. She has asked about performing hajj along with you. She said (to me): Let me perform hajj with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I said (to her): I have nothing upon which I can let you perform hajj. She said: Let me perform hajj on your such-and-such camel. I said: That is dedicated to the cause of Allah, The Exalted. He replied: If you let her perform hajj on it, that would be in the cause of Allah. He said: She has also requested me to ask you: What is that action which is equivalent to performing hajj with you? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Convey my greetings, the mercy of Allah and His blessings to her and tell her that umrah during Ramadan is equivalent to performing hajj along with me.  

أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْحَجَّ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ لِزَوْجِهَا أَحِجَّنِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى جَمَلِكَ فَقَالَ مَا عِنْدِي مَا أُحِجُّكِ عَلَيْهِ قَالَتْ أَحِجَّنِي عَلَى جَمَلِكَ فُلاَنٍ قَالَ ذَاكَ حَبِيسٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ﷻ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي تَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ السَّلاَمَ وَرَحْمَةَ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّهَا سَأَلَتْنِي الْحَجَّ مَعَكَ قَالَتْ أَحِجَّنِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ مَا عِنْدِي مَا أُحِجُّكِ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ أَحِجَّنِي عَلَى جَمَلِكَ فُلاَنٍ فَقُلْتُ ذَاكَ حَبِيسٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ أَحْجَجْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ كَانَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَإِنَّهَا أَمَرَتْنِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ مَا يَعْدِلُ حَجَّةً مَعَكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَقْرِئْهَا السَّلاَمَ وَرَحْمَةَ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتِهِ وَأَخْبِرْهَا أَنَّهَا تَعْدِلُ حَجَّةً مَعِي يَعْنِي عُمْرَةً فِي رَمَضَانَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to perform Hajj, so a woman said to her husband, "Let me go for Hajj with the Messenger of Allah." He replied, "I do not have anything to perform Hajj with." She said, "Take me with you on your camel." He responded, "That is what I am anticipating for myself and our child." She said, "Take me with you on your riding animal." He said, "That is what is needed in the way of Allah." She said, "Then sell your dates and raisins." He said, "That is our sustenance, yours and mine." When the Prophet ﷺ returned from Makkah, the woman sent a message to him, saying, "Peace be upon you, Messenger of Allah. Please ask him (her husband) what credits a Hajj with you." Her husband went to the Prophet and said, "O Messenger of Allah, my wife sends greetings to you, and she said that she asked me to take her for Hajj with you. I told her I do not have anything. Then she said, 'Take me on my riding animal.' I responded, 'That is what is needed in the way of Allah.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'If you had taken her, you would have been rewarded for performing Hajj in the way of Allah.' The Prophet ﷺ then laughed in astonishment at her eagerness to perform Hajj." He (the husband) continued, "She also requested me to ask you what is equivalent to a Hajj with you." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Tell her peace and mercy from me, and inform her that performing Umrah in Ramadan is equivalent to a Hajj with me."  

أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْحَجَّ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ لِزَوْجِهَا حُجَّ بِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا عِنْدِي مَا أُحِجُّكِ عَلَيْهِ قَالَتْ فَحَجَّ بِي عَلَى نَاضِحِكَ فَقَالَ ذَاكَ نَعْتَقِبُهُ أَنَا وَوَلَدُكِ قَالَتْ فَحُجَّ بِي عَلَى جَمَلِكَ فُلَانٍ قَالَ ذَلِكَ حَبِيسٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَتْ فَبِعْ تَمْرَ رِقِّكَ قَالَ ذَاكَ قُوتِي وَقُوتُكِ قَالَ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ مَكَّةَ أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ زَوْجَهَا فَقَالَتْ أقْرِئْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ وَسَلْهُ مَا يَعْدِلُ حَجَّةً مَعَكَ؟ فَأَتَى زَوْجُهَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي تُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ وَرَحْمَةَ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّهَا قَالَتْ أَنَّ أَحُجَّ بِهَا مَعَكَ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا لَيْسَ عِنْدِي قَالَتْ فَحَجَّ بِي عَلَى جَمَلِي فُلَانٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا ذَلِكَ حَبِيسٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَمَا إِنَّكِ لَوْ كُنْتِ حَجَجْتِ بِهَا كَانَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ» فَقَالَ فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ تَعَجُّبًا مِنْ حِرْصِهَا عَلَى الْحَجِّ قَالَ وَإِنَّهَا أَمَرْتَنِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ مَا تَعْدِلُ حَجَّةً مَعَكَ؟ قَالَ «أقْرِئهَا مِنِّي السَّلَامَ وَرَحْمَةَ اللَّهِ وَأَخْبِرْهَا أَنَّهَا تَعْدِلُ حَجَّةً مَعِي عُمْرَةٌ فِي رَمَضَانَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to perform Hajj, and a woman said to her husband, "Take me with you to perform Hajj with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." Her husband replied, "I don't have anything to afford your Hajj." She then asked him to take her on his camel. He replied, "That camel is reserved for the cause of Allah." She asked him to sell his date crop. He replied, "That is our sustenance, both yours and mine." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived, her husband sent her to him, and she said to him, "Convey to him my greetings of peace and the mercy of Allah, and ask him if there is a way for me to perform Hajj with him." So her husband went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, my wife conveys to you her greetings of peace and the mercy of Allah. She asked me to perform Hajj with her, and I told her I don't have anything to afford her Hajj. Then she asked me to take her on my camel. I told her that the camel is reserved for the cause of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If you had taken her on the camel, it would have been in the cause of Allah." She then asked me to sell our date crop, and I told her that it is our sustenance, both hers and mine. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed due to her eagerness to perform Hajj. He then said, "She instructed me to ask you what she would receive as a reward for performing Hajj with you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Convey to her my greetings of peace and the mercy of Allah, and inform her that performing Umrah in Ramadan is equal to performing Hajj with me."  

أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْحَجَّ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ لِزَوْجِهَا أَحْجِجْنِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهَا مَا عِنْدِي مَا أُحِجُّكِ بِهِ عَلَيْهِ قَالَتْ أَحْجِجْنِي عَلَى جَمَلِكَ فُلَانٍ فَقَالَ ذَاكَ حَبِيسٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَتْ أَحْجِجْنِي عَلَى نَاضِحِكَ قَالَ ذَاكَ نَعْتَقِبُهُ أَنَا وَأَنْتِ قَالَتْ فَبِعْ ثَمَرَتَكَ قَالَ ذَاكَ قُوتِي وَقُوتُكِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْسَلَتْ زَوْجَهَا إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ أَقْرئْهُ السَّلَامَ وَرَحْمَةَ اللهِ وَسَلْهُ مَا يَعْدِلُ حَجَّةً مَعَكَ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي تَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامَ وَرَحْمَةَ اللهِ وَإِنَّهَا كَانَتْ سَأَلَتْنِي الْحَجَّ مَعَكَ فَقُلْتُ مَا عِنْدِي مَا أُحِجُّكِ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ أَحْجِجْنِي عَلَى جَمَلِكَ فُلَانٍ فَقُلْتُ ذَاكَ حَبِيسٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ أَحْجَجْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ كَانَتْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَتْ فَأَحْجِجْنِي عَلَى نَاضِحِكَ فَقُلْتُ ذَاكَ نَعْتَقِبُهُ أَنَا وَأَنْتِ قَالَتْ فَبِعْ ثَمَرَتَكَ قُلْتُ ذَاكَ قُوتِي وَقُوتُكِ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ حِرْصِهَا عَلَى الْحَجِّ قَالَ فَإِنَّهَا أَمَرَتْنِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ مَا يُجْزِيُ حَجَّةً مَعَكَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَقْرِئْهَا السَّلَامَ وَرَحْمَةَ اللهِ وَأَخْبِرْهَا أَنَّهُ يَعْدِلُ حَجَّةً مَعِي عُمْرَةٌ فِي رَمَضَانَ  

[Machine] So a woman said to her husband, "Perform the Hajj pilgrimage with me alongside the Prophet ﷺ." He replied, "I do not have enough to perform the Hajj for both of us." She said, "Perform the Hajj pilgrimage for me using your camel, Fulan." He said, "That camel is reserved for the sake of Allah." She said, "Then perform the Hajj pilgrimage for me using your slave." He said, "That is reserved for me and our son." She said, "Then sell your date harvest." He said, "That is our sustenance and your sustenance." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived, she sent her husband to the Prophet ﷺ, saying, "Send him my greetings of peace and the mercy of Allah, and ask him if there is a lesser form of pilgrimage that I can perform with him." So her husband went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, my wife sends you her greetings of peace and the mercy of Allah. She asked me to perform the Hajj pilgrimage for her, and I told her that I do not have enough to perform it for her." She said, "Perform the Hajj pilgrimage for me using your camel, Fulan." I said, "That is reserved for the sake of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "If you had performed it for her, it would have been in the way of Allah." She said, "Then perform the Hajj pilgrimage for me using your slave." I said, "That is reserved for me and our son." She said, "Then sell your date harvest." At this, the Prophet ﷺ laughed at her eagerness for the Hajj pilgrimage. Ibrahim ibn Al-Hajjaj mentioned in his narration of this incident that the Prophet ﷺ laughed with amazement at her eagerness for the Hajj pilgrimage. He said, "She ordered me to ask you if there is a lesser form of Hajj that is equivalent to performing it with you." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Send her my greetings of peace and the mercy of Allah, and inform her that an 'Umrah pilgrimage during Ramadan is equivalent to performing the Hajj pilgrimage with me." The judge said, "That is how it happened."  

فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ لِزَوْجِهَا حُجَّ بِي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَا عِنْدِي مَا أُحِجُّكِ عَلَيْهِ قَالَتْ أَحِجَّنِي عَلَى جَمَلِكَ فُلَانٍ قَالَ ذَاكَ حَبِيسُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَتْ فَحُجَّ بِي عَلَى نَاضِحِكَ قَالَ ذَاكَ نَعْتَقِبُهُ أَنَا وَابْنُكِ قَالَتْ فَبِعْ ثَمَرَتَكَ قَالَ ذَاكَ قُوتِي وَقُوتِكِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْسَلَتْ زَوْجَهَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ أَقْرِئْهُ السَّلَامَ وَرَحْمَةَ اللهِ وَسَلْهُ مَا يَعْدِلُ حِجَّةً مَعَكَ؟ فَأَتَى زَوْجُهَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ امْرَأَتِي تُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ وَرَحْمَةَ اللهِ إِنَّهَا سَأَلَتْنِي أُحِجُّهَا فَقُلْتُ مَا عِنْدِي مَا أُحِجُّكِ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ أَحِجَّنِي عَلَى جَمَلِكَ فُلَانٍ قُلْتُ ذَلِكَ حَبِيسٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَوْ كُنْتَ أَحْجَجْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ كَانَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَتْ فَأَحِجَّنِي عَلَى نَاضِحِكَ فَقُلْتُ ذَاكَ نَعْتَقِبُهُ أَنَا وَابْنُكِ قَالَتْ فَبِعْ ثَمَرَتَكَ فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ حِرْصِهَا عَلَى الْحَجِّ وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَجَبًا مِنْ حِرْصِهَا عَلَى الْحَجِّ قَالَ فَإِنَّهَا أَمَرَتْنِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ مَا يَعْدِلُ حِجَّةً مَعَكَ؟ قَالَ أَقْرِئْهَا السَّلَامَ وَرَحْمَةَ اللهِ وَأَخْبِرْهَا أَنَّهَا تَعْدِلُ حَجَّةً مَعِي عُمْرَةٌ فِي رَمَضَانَ قَالَ الْقَاضِي هَكَذَا  

On the authority of a man from the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ: People differed among themselves on the last day of Ramadan (about the appearance of the moon of Shawwal). Then two bedouins came and witnessed before the Prophet ﷺ swearing by Allah that they had sighted moon the previous evening. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded the people to break the fast. The narrator Khalaf has added in his version: "and that they should proceed to the place of prayer (for 'Id)".  

عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ اخْتَلَفَ النَّاسُ فِي آخِرِ يَوْمٍ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَقَدِمَ أَعْرَابِيَّانِ فَشَهِدَا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِاللَّهِ لأَهَلاَّ الْهِلاَلَ أَمْسِ عَشِيَّةً فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النَّاسَ أَنْ يُفْطِرُوا زَادَ خَلَفٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ وَأَنْ يَغْدُوا إِلَى مُصَلاَّهُمْ

[Machine] From a general companion of the Prophet ﷺ , it is reported that the people of Madinah used to observe fasting on the last day of Ramadan during the time of the Prophet ﷺ . A group arrived at the end of the day and testified before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that they had seen the new crescent yesterday. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then ordered the people to break their fast and proceed to their prayer place, and so they did.  

عَنْ عُمُومَةٍ لَهُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَصْبَحَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ صِيَامًا فِي آخِرِ يَوْمٍ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَدِمَ رَكْبٌ مِنْ آخِرِ النَّهَارِ فَشَهِدُوا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُمْ رَأَوَا الْهِلَالَ بِالْأَمْسِ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ النَّاسَ أَنْ يُفْطِرُوا وَيَغْدُوا إِلَى مُصَلَّاهُمْ وَكَذَلِكَ

A bedouin came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: I have sighted the moon. Al-Hasan added in his version: that is, of Ramadan. He asked: Do you testify that there is no god but Allah? He replied: Yes. He again asked: Do you testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah? He replied: Yes. and he testified that he had sighted the moon. He said: Bilal, announce to the people that they must fast tomorrow.  

جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ الْهِلاَلَ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ يَعْنِي رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ أَتَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَتَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ يَا بِلاَلُ أَذِّنْ فِي النَّاسِ فَلْيَصُومُوا غَدًا

جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ الْهِلَالَ يَعْنِي هِلَالَ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ «أَتَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «أَتَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «يَا بِلَالُ أَذِّنْ فِي النَّاسِ أَنْ يَصُومُوا غَدًا» تَابَعَهُ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَحَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ  

[Machine] A Bedouin man came to the Messenger of Allah on the night of the sighting of the crescent moon of Ramadan, and he said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have seen the moon." The Messenger of Allah asked him, "Do you testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah?" The man replied, "Yes." The Messenger of Allah then said, "Proclaim to the people to begin fasting." This narration was reported by Al-Fadl ibn Musa from Sufyan Ath-Thawri.  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ أَعْرَابِيٌّ لَيْلَةَ هِلَالِ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ الْهِلَالَ فَقَالَ «أَتَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَتَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَنَادِ فِي النَّاسِ أَنْ يَصُومُوا» وَهَكَذَا رَوَاهُ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ  

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, I have seen the crescent moon." He said, "Do you bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Then announce that the people should fast."  

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ رَأَيْتُ الْهِلَالَ فَقَالَ «أَتَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَنَادَى أَنْ يَصُومُوا»  

[Machine] An Arab came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I have seen the crescent moon, meaning the crescent of Ramadan." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Do you testify that there is no god but Allah?" The man replied, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ asked again, "Do you testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah?" Again, the man answered, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "O Bilal, announce to the people to fast tomorrow."  

جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ الْهِلَالَ يَعْنِي هِلَالَ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ أَتَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَتَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ يَا بِلَالُ أَذِّنْ فِي النَّاسِ أَنْ يَصُومُوا غَدًا 7974 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكَّارِ بْنِ الرَّيَّانِ ثنا الْوَلِيدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي ثَوْرٍ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ فَذَكَرَهُ بِنَحْوِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَقُلْ يَعْنِي هِلَالَ رَمَضَانَ  

Once the people doubted the appearance of the moon of Ramadan, and intended neither to offer the tarawih prayer nor to keep fast. A bedouin came from al-Harrah and testified that he had sighted the moon. He was brought to the Prophet ﷺ. He asked: Do you testify that there is no god but Allah, and that I am the Messenger of Allah? He said: Yes; and he testified that he had sighted the moon. He commanded Bilal who announced to the people to offer the tarawih prayer and to keep fast.  

عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ أَنَّهُمْ شَكُّوا فِي هِلاَلِ رَمَضَانَ مَرَّةً فَأَرَادُوا أَنْ لاَ يَقُومُوا وَلاَ يَصُومُوا فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ مِنَ الْحَرَّةِ فَشَهِدَ أَنَّهُ رَأَى الْهِلاَلَ فَأُتِيَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَتَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَشَهِدَ أَنَّهُ رَأَى الْهِلاَلَ فَأَمَرَ بِلاَلاً فَنَادَى فِي النَّاسِ أَنْ يَقُومُوا وَأَنْ يَصُومُوا  

[Machine] That they neither stood nor fasted. So, an Arab of the Bedouins came and testified that he had seen the crescent moon. So, the Prophet ﷺ was brought to him, and he said: "Do you testify that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Yes." And he testified that he had seen the crescent moon. So, he ordered Bilal to announce to the people to stand and fast. Abu Dawood narrated it and a group also narrated it from Simak from Ikrimah as a Mursal hadith, and no one mentioned standing except Hammam bin Salamah. Al-Shaykh said: This is the Hadith of Hammam.  

أَنْ لَا يَقُومُوا وَلَا يَصُومُوا فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ مِنَ الْحَرَّةِ فَشَهِدَ أَنَّهُ رَأَى الْهِلَالَ فَأُتِيَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَتَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَشَهِدَ أَنَّهُ رَأَى الْهِلَالَ فَأَمَرَ بِلَالًا فَنَادَى فِي النَّاسِ أَنْ يَقُومُوا وَأَنْ يَصُومُوا قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَرَوَاهُ جَمَاعَةٌ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ مُرْسَلًا وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ الْقِيَامَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ حَدِيثُ حَمَّادٍ
