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."  

سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَىُّ الصَّوْمِ أَفْضَلُ بَعْدَ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ شَعْبَانُ لِتَعْظِيمِ رَمَضَانَ قِيلَ فَأَىُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ صَدَقَةٌ فِي رَمَضَانَ  

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  

the Messenger of Allah said: "Count the (the appearances of) the crescent of Sha'ban for Ramadan."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَحْصُوا هِلاَلَ شَعْبَانَ لِرَمَضَانَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Observe the crescent moon of Sha'ban for the sighting of Ramadan." It is an authentic narration according to the conditions set by Muslim, and it was not contradicted.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَحْصُوا هِلَالَ شَعْبَانَ لِرَمَضَانَ» صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ مُسْلِمٍ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ  

"I would not make up what was due upon me from Ramadan except in Sha'ban, until the Messenger of Allah died."  

مَا كُنْتُ أَقْضِي مَا يَكُونُ عَلَىَّ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ إِلاَّ فِي شَعْبَانَ حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

"I would not make up what was due upon me from Ramadan except in Sha'ban, until the Messenger of Allah died." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 783)  

مَا كُنْتُ أَقْضِي مَا يَكُونُ عَلَيَّ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ إِلَّا فِي شَعْبَانَ حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ  

"I would not make up what was due upon me from Ramadan except in Sha'ban, until the Messenger of Allah died." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 783)  

مَا كُنْتُ أَقْضِي مَا يَكُونُ عَلَيَّ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ إِلَّا فِي شَعْبَانَ حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ  

"I would not make up what was due upon me from Ramadan except in Sha'ban, until the Messenger of Allah died." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 783)   

مَا كُنْتُ أَقْضِي مَا يَبْقَى عَلَيَّ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ حَيَاةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كُلَّهَا إِلَّا فِي شَعْبَانَ  

from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ "Allah ˹audits˺ during the night of the middle of ˹the month of˺ Shaʿbān and then He forgives all His creation except for the one who associates partners with him and the one filled with hate."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيَطَّلِعُ فِي لَيْلَةِ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ فَيَغْفِرُ لِجَمِيعِ خَلْقِهِ إِلاَّ لِمُشْرِكٍ أَوْ مُشَاحِنٍ۔»  

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah ˹audits˺ his creation during the night of the middle of ˹the month of ˺ Shaʿbān then He forgives all His servants, except for the one filled with hate or a murderer."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «يَطَّلِعُ اللهُ ﷻ إِلَى خَلْقِهِ لَيْلَةَ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ فَيَغْفِرُ لِعِبَادِهِ إِلَّا لِاثْنَيْنِ مُشَاحِنٍ وَقَاتِلِ نَفْسٍ۔»  

from the Prophet ﷺ who said, "Allah ˹audits˺ His creation on the middle night of Shaʿbān and He forgives all of His creation, except for an idolater or one filled with malice."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «يَطْلُعُ اللَّهُ إِلَى خَلْقِهِ فِي لَيْلَةِ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ فَيَغْفِرُ لِجَمِيعِ خَلْقِهِ إِلَّا لِمُشْرِكٍ أَوْ مُشَاحِنٍ۔»  

from the Prophet ﷺ who said, "Allah ˹audits˺ His creation on the middle night of ˹the month of˺ Shaʿbān and He forgives all of His creation, except for the one who associates partners with Him or one filled with malice."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «يَطَّلِعُ اللهُ ﷻ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ لَيْلَةَ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ فَيَغْفِرُ لِجَمِيعِ خَلْقِهِ إِلَّا لِمُشْرِكٍ أَوْ مُشَاحِنٍ»  

“Allah looks down on the night of the middle of Sha’ban and forgives all His creation, apart from the idolater and the Mushahin.” Another chain from Abu Musa, from the Prophet ﷺ with similar wording. (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1390)   

"إِنَّ الله لَيَطَّلِعُ فِي لَيلَةِ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ فَيَغْفِرُ لِجَميعِ خَلْقِه إلا لِمُشْرِكٍ، أَوْ مُشَاحِنٍ".  

"Allah ﷻ ˹audits˺ His creation on the middle night of ˹the month of˺ Shaʿbān and He forgives all of His creation, except for the one who associates partners with Him or one filled with malice."  

"يَطَّلعُ اللَّه ﷻ إِلَى خَلْقِهِ فِى لَيْلَة النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ، فَيَغْفِرُ لِجَمِيع خَلْقِهِ إلَّا لِمُشْرِكٍ أَوْ مُشَاحِنٍ".  

"During the night of the middle of ˹the month of˺ Shaʿbān, Allah forgives the people of Earth, except for the one who associates partners with Him or the one filled with malice."  

«فِي لَيلَة النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانِ يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لأَهْلِ الأَرْضِ إِلَّا لِمُشْرِكٍ أَوْ مُشَاحِنٍ۔»  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘When it is the night of the middle of Sha’ban, spend its night in prayer and observe a fast on that day. For Allah descends at sunset on that night to the lowest heaven and says: ‘Is there no one who will ask Me for forgiveness, that I may forgive him? Is there no one who will ask Me for provision, that I may provide for him? Is there no one who is afflicted by trouble, that I may relieve him?’ And so on, until dawn comes.’”  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «إِذَا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ، فَقُومُوا لَيْلَهَا، وَصُومُوا يَوْمَهَا۔ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَنْزِلُ فِيهَا لِغُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ إِلَى سَمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ: (أَلاَ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ؟ أَلاَ مُسْتَرْزِقٌ فَأَرْزُقَهُ؟ أَلاَ مُبْتَلًى فَأُعَافِيَهُ؟ أَلاَ كَذَا؟ أَلاَ كَذَا؟ حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ۔»  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘When it is the night of the middle of Sha’ban, spend its night in prayer and observe a fast on that day. For Allah descends at sunset on that night to the lowest heaven and says: ‘Is there no one who will ask Me for forgiveness, that I may forgive him? Is there no one who will ask Me for provision, that I may provide for him? Is there no one who is afflicted by trouble, that I may relieve him?’ And so on, until dawn comes.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1388)   

"إِذا كانَ لَيلةُ النصفِ مِنْ شعبانَ فقُوموا لَيلتَها، وصومواُ يوْمَها، فإِنّ الله ينزلُ فِيها لغروبِ الشّمسِ إِلى سماءِ الدُّنيا فيقولُ: ألَا مِنْ مستغفرٍ فأَغفِرَ له، ألا مُسْترزقٌ فأرْزَقَه، ألا مُبْتلًى فأعافِيَه، ألا سائِلُ فأُعطَيه، ألا كذا، ألا كذا حتَّى يطلعَ الفجرُ".  

“He used to fast all of Sha’ban, until he joined it to Ramadan.”  

عَنْ صِيَامِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ كُلَّهُ حَتَّى يَصِلَهُ بِرَمَضَانَ  

[Machine] Regarding the fasting of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , she said, "His most frequent fasting after the month of Ramadan was during the month of Sha'ban, either most of it or all of it."  

عَنْ صَوْمِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ «كَانَ أَكْثَرُ صَوْمِهِ بَعْدَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ شَعْبَانَ عَامَّتَهُ أَوْ كُلَّهُ»  

[Machine] They have Anas bin Malik. You might be ones who misunderstand. You might be ones who are hesitant. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast, and he would not break his fast until we said what was in the Messenger of Allah's ﷺ mind, that he would break the fast that year. Then he would break it, and he would not fast until we said what was in his mind, that he would fast that year. And the most beloved fast to him was in Sha'ban.  

لَهُمْ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ لَعَلَّكُمْ اثْنَانِيُّونَ لَعَلَّكُمْ خَمِيسِيُّونَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصُومُ فَلَا يُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ مَا فِي نَفْسِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ الْعَامَ ثُمَّ يُفْطِرُ فَلَا يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ مَا فِي نَفْسِهِ أَنْ يَصُومَ الْعَامَ وَكَانَ أَحَبُّ الصَّوْمِ إِلَيْهِ فِي شَعْبَانَ  

"Fast when you see it, and stop fasting when you see it, and if clouds prevent you from seeing it, then complete the number, and do not fast ahead of Ramadan." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2129)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صُومُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ وَأَفْطِرُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ فَإِنْ حَالَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُ سَحَابٌ فَكَمِّلُوا الْعِدَّةَ ثَلاثِينَ وَلا تَسْتَقْبِلُوا الشَّهْرَ اسْتِقْبَالًا قَالَ حَاتِمٌ يَعْنِي عِدَّةَ شَعْبَانَ  

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the battle of Tabuk, and one night he stopped and his companions gathered around him. He said, "Indeed, Allah has granted me tonight the treasures of Persia and Rome, and He has stretched out for me the kings of Yemen, the red ones. There is no deity but Allah, they come to take from the wealth of Allah and fight in the cause of Allah." He repeated this statement three times.  

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ فَوَقَفَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ وَاجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهِ أَصْحَابُهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ أَعْطَانِي اللَّيْلَةَ الْكَنْزَيْنِ كَنْزَ فَارِسَ وَالرُّومِ وَأَمَدَّنِي بِالْمُلُوكِ مُلُوكِ حِمْيَرَ الْأَحْمَرَيْنِ وَلَا مَلِكَ إِلَّا الِلَّهِ يَأْتُونَ يَأْخُذُونَ مِنْ مَالِ اللهِ وَيُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا  

[Machine] "So I approached her and she was praying the Duha prayer, so I said, 'I will sit until she finishes.' They said, 'No, it's okay,' but I asked her how I should seek permission from her. She said, 'Say, "Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah. Peace be upon the mothers of the believers or the wives of the Prophet ﷺ. Peace be upon you all." He said, 'So I entered upon her and asked her. She said, 'It is the home of a bachelor, indeed. The people of the household are indeed good people.' I asked her about al-Wisal (remaining in the mosque from Fajr prayer until Ishraq prayer). She said, 'When the Battle of Uhud happened, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his Companions performed prayers separately. When they saw the crescent moon, they informed the Prophet ﷺ. He said, 'If it had increased, I would have indeed increased. He was asked, 'Do you do that or something similar?' He said, 'I am not like you. I spend the night in a state that my Lord feeds me and gives me drink.' I asked her about the two Rak'ahs after 'Asr prayer. She said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a man to collect Sadaqah. He came to him at midday. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered the Dhuhr prayer and prayed those two Rak'ahs. Then he offered the 'Asr prayer and prayed those two Rak'ahs. She said, 'Upon you is to pray the night prayer, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ never neglected it. Even if he was sick, he would recite while sitting.' And I knew that some of you say, 'It is enough for me to establish what has been written for me, how can I have that and then ask her about the day in which there is difference regarding Ramadan?' She said, 'Because fasting a day in Sha'ban is more beloved to me than fasting a day in Ramadan.' He said, 'So I went out and asked Ibn 'Umar and Abu Hurairah, and each of them said, 'The wives of the Prophet ﷺ know more about that than us.'  

فَأَتَيْتُهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ تُصَلِّي الضُّحَى فَقُلْتُ أَقْعُدُ حَتَّى تَفْرُغَ فَقَالُوا هَيْهَاتَ فَقُلْتُ لِآذِنِهَا كَيْفَ أَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَيْهَا؟ فَقَالَ قُلْ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَوْ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ قَالَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهَا فَسَأَلْتُهَا فَقَالَتْ أَخُو عَازِبٍ نِعْمَ أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ فَسَأَلْتُهَا عَنِ الْوِصَالِ؟ فَقَالَتْ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ وَاصَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابُهُ فَشَقَّ عَلَيْهِمْ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا الْهِلَالَ أَخْبَرُوا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَوْ زَادَ لَزِدْتُ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّكَ تَفْعَلُ ذَاكَ أَوْ شَيْئًا نَحْوَهُ قَالَ إِنِّي لَسْتُ مِثْلَكُمْ إِنِّي أَبِيتُ يُطْعِمُنِي رَبِّي وَيَسْقِينِي وَسَأَلْتُهَا عَنِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ؟ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ رَجُلًا عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ قَالَتْ فَجَاءَتْهُ عِنْدَ الظُّهْرِ فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الظُّهْرَ وَشُغِلَ فِي قِسْمَتِهِ حَتَّى صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ ثُمَّ صَلَّاهَا وَقَالَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ بِقِيَامِ اللَّيْلِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ لَا يَدَعُهُ فَإِنْ مَرِضَ قَرَأَ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ وَقَدْ عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ يَقُولُ بِحَسْبِي أَنْ أُقِيمَ مَا كُتِبَ لِي وَأَنَّى لَهُ ذَلِكَوَسَأَلْتُهَا عَنِ الْيَوْمِالَّذِي يُخْتَلَفُ فِيهِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ؟ فَقَالَتْ لَأَنْ أَصُومَ يَوْمًا مِنْ شَعْبَانَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أُفْطِرَ يَوْمًا مِنْ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ فَسَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ وَأَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ فَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا قَالَ أَزْوَاجُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَعْلَمُ بِذَاكَ مِنَّا  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast to such an extent that we thought that he would never break his fast, and he would go without fasting to such an extent that we thought he would never fast. I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fast a complete month except in Ramadan, and I never saw his fast more in any month than in Sha'ban. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2434)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لَا يُفْطِرُ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لَا يَصُومُ وَمَا اسْتَكْمَلَ صِيَامَ شَهْرٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا رَمَضَانَ وَمَا رَأَيْتُهُ فِي شَهْرٍ قَطُّ أَكْثَرَ صِيَامًا مِنْهُ فِي شَعْبَانَ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast to such an extent that we thought that he would never break his fast, and he would go without fasting to such an extent that we thought he would never fast. I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fast a complete month except in Ramadan, and I never saw his fast more in any month than in Sha'ban. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2434)   

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ مَا يُفْطِرُ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لَا يَصُومُ وَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ اسْتَكْمَلَ صِيَامَ شَهْرٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا رَمَضَانَ وَمَا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي شَهْرٍ أَكْثَرَ صِيَامًا مِنْهُ فِي شَعْبَانَ»  

[Machine] I asked Aisha, the mother of the Believers, "Tell me about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." She said, "His prayer during Ramadan and other times was thirteen units of prayer. This included the two units of the dawn prayer (Fajr)."

I said, "Tell me about his fasting." She said, "He used to fast until we would say, 'He is fasting.' And he would break his fast until we would say, 'He has broken his fast.' I never saw him fasting a whole month more than he did in Sha'ban. He used to fast all of it except for a little."  

عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَقُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ أَيْ أُمَّهْ أَخْبِرِينِي عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ كَانَتْ صَلَاتُهُ فِي رَمَضَانَ وَغَيْرِهِ سَوَاءً ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً فِيهَا رَكْعَتَا الْفَجْرِ قُلْتُ فَأَخْبِرِينِي عَنْ صِيَامِهِ قَالَتْ كَانَ يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ صَامَ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ أَفْطَرَ وَمَا رَأَيْتُهُ صَامَ شَهْرًا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ صِيَامِهِ فِي شَعْبَانَ كَانَ يَصُومُهُ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast on certain days until it was said that he never breaks his fast, and he would break his fast on certain days until it was said that he hardly ever fasts, except for two days of the week, unless there was a fasting in the month, then he would fast those two days as well. He did not fast any month as much as he fasted in Sha'ban. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, you fast so much that it seems like you never break your fast, and you break your fast so much that it seems like you hardly ever fast. He said, "Which two days?" I said, "Monday and Thursday." He said, "Those are two days when deeds are shown (to Allah) and I love that my deeds should be shown (to Allah) when I am fasting." I said, "And I have never seen you fasting in any month as you fast in Sha'ban." He said, "That is a month between Rajab and Ramadan that people neglect, but it is a month in which deeds are raised up to the Lord of the worlds, and I love that my deeds should be raised up when I am fasting."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصُومُ الْأَيَّامَ يَسْرُدُ حَتَّى يُقَالَ لَا يُفْطِرُ وَيُفْطِرُ الْأَيَّامَ حَتَّى لَا يَكَادَ أَنْ يَصُومَ إِلَّا يَوْمَيْنِ مِنَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِنْ كَانَ فِي صِيَامِهِ وَإِلَّا صَامَهُمَا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَصُومُ مِنْ شَهْرٍ مِنَ الشُّهُورِ مَا يَصُومُ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّكَ تَصُومُ لَا تَكَادُ أَنْ تُفْطِرَ وَتُفْطِرَ حَتَّى لَا تَكَادَ أَنْ تَصُومَ إِلَّا يَوْمَيْنِ إِنْ دَخَلَا فِي صِيَامِكَ وَإِلَّا صُمْتَهُمَا قَالَ أَيُّ يَوْمَيْنِ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَوْمُ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَيَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ قَالَ ذَانِكَ يَوْمَانِ تُعْرَضُ فِيهِمَا الْأَعْمَالُ عَلَى رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَأُحِبُّ أَنْ يُعْرَضَ عَمَلِي وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَلَمْ أَرَكَ تَصُومُ مِنْ شَهْرٍ مِنَ الشُّهُورِ مَا تَصُومُ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ قَالَ ذَاكَ شَهْرٌ يَغْفُلُ النَّاسُ عَنْهُ بَيْنَ رَجَبٍ وَرَمَضَانَ وَهُوَ شَهْرٌ تُرْفَعُ فِيهِ الْأَعْمَالُ إِلَى رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَفَأُحِبُّ أَنْ يُرْفَعَ عَمَلِي وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ  

the Prophet ﷺ, as ˹the month of˺ Rajab entered, used to say, "O Allah, bless us in ˹the months of˺ Rajab and Shaʿbān, and bless us in ˹the month of˺ Ramaḍān." He also used to say, "The night of Friday (Thursday evening) is honorable and its day is ˹a day of˺ happiness/radiance."  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا دَخَلَ رَجَبٌ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي رَجَبٍ وَشَعْبَانَ وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي رَمَضَانَ۔» وَكَانَ يَقُولُ: «لَيْلَةُ الْجُمُعَةِ غَرَّاءُ وَيَوْمُهَا أَزْهَرُ۔»  

[Machine] Uthman was buried and then he was pledged allegiance on the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ openly. Talhah was the first to pledge allegiance to him, he said, "This allegiance will not be broken."  

أَنْ دُفِنَ عُثْمَانُ ثُمَّ بُويِعَ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ظَاهِرًا وَكَانَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ بَايَعَهُ طَلْحَةُ فَقَالَ هَذِهِ بَيْعَةُ تُنْكَثُ  

[Machine] "From Ibn Abbas, there are indeed decisive verses which are in Surah Al-An'am. Say, 'Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited to you. [He commands] that you not associate anything with Him, and to parents, good treatment, and do not kill your children out of poverty; We will provide for you and them. And do not approach immoralities - what is apparent of them and what is concealed. And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden [to be killed] except by [legal] right. This has He instructed you that you may use reason.'"  

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ «مِنْهُ آيَاتٌ مُحْكَمَاتٌ هِيَ الَّتِي فِي سُورَةِ الْأَنْعَامِ قُلْ تَعَالَوْا أَتْلُ مَا حَرَّمَ رَبُّكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ أَلَّا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا إِلَى آخِرِ الثَّلَاثِ آيَاتٍ»  

[Machine] "Oh stone, did you not claim that you do not fear death? So we leave you alone." He replied, "Why should I not fear when I see a dug grave, a spread shroud, and a famous sword? By Allah, I will not say what angers the Lord." He was then killed, and this occurred in the month of Sha'ban in the year fifty-one."

Note: The statement regarding Al-Dhahabi remaining silent about this incident in his summary is not completely clear and may require further context.  

يَا حُجْرُ أَلَيْسَ زَعَمْتَ أَنَّكَ لَا تَجْزَعُ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ فَإِنَّا نَدَعُكَ فَقَالَ «وَمَا لِي لَا أَجْزَعُ وَأَنَا أَرَى قَبْرًا مَحْفُورًا وَكَفَنًا مَنْشُورًا وَسَيْفًا مَشْهُورًا وَإِنَّنِي وَاللَّهِ لَنْ أَقُولَ مَا يُسْخِطُ الرَّبَّ» قَالَ فَقَتَلَهُ وَذَلِكَ فِي شَعْبَانَ سَنَةَ إِحْدَى وَخَمْسِينَسكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] And the name of Umm Kulthum, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , is Ummayyah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ married her to Uthman after the death of Ruqayyah in the month of Rabi'al-Awwal. She entered upon him in Jumada al-Akhirah in the eighth year, and she passed away while she was with Uthman in Sha'ban of the ninth year. She was Umm Atiyya al-Ansariyya, who was the one who washed her body with the women of the Ansar.  

«وَاسْمُ أُمِّ كُلْثُومٍ بِنْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أُمَيَّةُ زَوَّجَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ عُثْمَانَ بَعْدَ رُقَيَّةَ فِي شَهْرِ رَبِيعٍ الْأَوَّلِ وَدَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ فِي جُمَادَى الْآخِرَةِ سَنَةَ ثَمَانٍ وَتُوُفِّيَتْ وَهِيَ عِنْدَ عُثْمَانَ فِي شَعْبَانَ سَنَةَ تِسْعٍ وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ عَطِيَّةَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةُ الَّتِي هِيَ غَسَّلَتْهَا فِي نِسْوَةٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ ordered the people during the Farewell Pilgrimage, saying, "Whoever desires to perform Umrah before Hajj, then he should do so."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَرَ النَّاسَ عَامَ حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ فَقَالَ «مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ بِعُمْرَةٍ قَبْلَ الْحَجِّ فَلْيَفْعَلْ»  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned Dajjal, one morning, as something despised but also alarming, until we thought that he was in the stand of date-palm trees. When we came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the evening, he saw that (fear) in us, and said: 'What is the matter with you?' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you mentioned Dajjal this morning, and you spoke of him as something despised but also alarming, until we thought that he was in the stand of date-palm trees.' He said: 'There are things that I fear more for you than the Dajjal. If he appears while I am among you, I will contend with him on your behalf, and if he appears when I am not among you, then each man must fend for himself, and Allah will take care of every Muslim on my behalf. He (Dajjal) will be a young man with curly hair and a protuberant eye; I liken him to 'Abdul-'Uzza bin Qatan. Whoever among you sees him, let him recite the first Verses of Surat Al-Kahf over him. He will emerge from Khallah, between Sham and Iraq, and will wreak havoc right and left. O slaves of Allah, remain steadfast.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how long will he stay on earth?' He said: 'Forty days, one day like a year, one day like a month, one day like a week, and the rest of his days like your days.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, on that day which is like a year, will the prayers of one day suffice us?' He said: 'Make an estimate of time (and then observe prayer).' We said: 'How fast will he move through the earth?' He said: 'Like a rain cloud driving by the wind.' He said: 'He will come to some people and call them, and they will respond and believe in him. Then he will command the sky to rain and it will rain, and he will command the earth to produce vegetation and it will do so, and their flocks will come back in the evening with their humps taller, their udders fuller and their flanks fatter than they have ever been. Then he will come to some (other) people and call them, and they will reject him, so he will turn away from them and they will suffer drought and be left with nothing. Then he will pass through the wasteland and will say: "Bring forth your treasures," then go away, and its treasures will follow him like a swarm of bees. Then he will call a man brimming with youth and will strike him with a sword and cut him in two. He will put the two pieces as far apart as the distance between an archer and his target. Then he will call him and he will come with his face shining, laughing. While they are like that, Allah will send 'Eisa bin Maryam, who will come down at the white minaret in the east of Damascus, wearing two Mahrud[garment dyed with Wars and then Saffron], resting his hands on the wings of two angels. When he lowers his head, beads of perspiration will fall from it. Every disbeliever who smells the fragrance of his breath will die, and his breath will reach as far as his eye can see. Then he will set out and catch up with him (the Dajjal) at the gate of Ludd, and will kill him. Then the Prophet of Allah 'Eisa will come to some people whom Allah has protected, and he will wipe their faces and tell them of their status in Paradise. While they are like that, Allah will reveal to him: "O 'Eisa, I have brought forth some of My slaves whom no one will be able to kill, so take My slaves to Tur in safety." Then Gog and Magog will emerge and they will, as Allah describes, "swoop down from every mound."[21:96] The first of them will pass by lake Tiberias and drink from it, then the last of them will pass by it and will say: "There was water here once." The Prophet of Allah, 'Eisa and his companions will be besieged there until the head of an ox would be dearer to any one of them than one hundred Dinar are to any one of you today. Then, the Prophet of Allah, 'Eisa and his companions will supplicate Allah. Then Allah will send a worm in their necks and the next morning they will all die as one. The Prophet of Allah 'Eisa and his companions will come down and they will not find even the space of a hand span that is free of their stink, stench and blood. They will pray to Allah, and He will send birds with necks like the necks of Bactrian camels, which will pick them up and throw them wherever Allah wills. Then Allah will send rain which will not leave any house of clay or hair, and it will wash the earth until it leaves it like a mirror (or a smooth rock). Then it will be said to the earth: "Bring forth your fruits and bring back your blessing." On that day a group of people will eat from a (single) pomegranate and it will suffice them, and they will seek shelter beneath its skin. Allah will bless a milch- camel so that it will be sufficient for a large number of people, and a milch-cow will be sufficient for a whole tribe and a milch-ewe will be sufficient for a whole clan. While they are like that, Allah will send a pleasant wind which will seize them beneath their armpits and will take the soul of every Muslim, leaving the rest of the people fornicating like donkeys, and upon them will come the Hour.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4075)

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When it is the middle of ˹the month of˺ Shaʿbān then break ˹from˺ fasting until ˹the month of˺ Ramaḍān arrives.”  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا كَانَ النِّصْفُ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ فَأَفْطِرُوا حَتَّى يَجِيءَ رَمَضَانُ۔»  

"When it is the middle of ˹the month of˺ Shaʿbān, then break ˹from˺ fasting until ˹the month of˺ Ramaḍān arrives."  

«إذا كانَ النِّصفُ مِنْ شعبانَ فأفطرُوا حتَّى يجئَ رمضانُ۔»  

from the Prophet ﷺ who said, "There ˹should be˺ no fasting after the middle of ˹the month of˺ Shaʿbān until the month of Ramaḍān arrives.”  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا صَوْمَ بَعْدَ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ حَتَّى يَجِيءَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ۔»  

There ˹should be˺ no fasting after the middle of ˹the month of˺ Shaʿbān until the entrance of ˹the month of˺ Ramaḍān.  

"لَا صِيَامَ بَعْدَ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ حَتَّى يَدْخُلَ رَمَضَانُ".

.  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ never fasted a complete month except for Ramadan, and he never fasted a complete month except for Ramadan. He never fasted more in any other month than he did in Sha'ban.  

«مَا صَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ شَهْرًا قَطُّ كَامِلًا إِلَّا رَمَضَانَ وَلَا أَفْطَرَ شَهْرًا كَامِلًا قَطُّ وَمَا كَانَ يَصُومُ شَهْرًا أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا كَانَ يَصُومُ فِي شَعْبَانَ»  

[Machine] "The battle of Bani Al-Mustaliq took place in the month of Sha'ban in the sixth year. In that battle, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out with Aisha, and she was riding in a howdah between women. Her necklace broke off during the battle. During this battle, the people who spread false accusations against her said what they said. Then Allah revealed her innocence."  

«كَانَتْ غَزْوَةَ بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ فِي شَعْبَانَ سَنَةَ سِتٍّ وَفِي تِلْكَ الْغَزْوَةِ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِعَائِشَةَ مَعَهُ أَقْرَعَ بَيْنَ نِسَائِهِ فَخَرَجَ سَهْمُهَا وَفِي تِلْكَ الْغَزْوَةِ قَالَ فِيهَا أَهْلُ الْإِفْكِ مَا قَالُوا فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ بَرَاءَتَهَا»  

Usayd b. Hudayr passed away in the Shaʿbān of year 20.  

«تُوُفِّيَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ سَنَةَ عِشْرِينَ فِي شَعْبَانَ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to fast until it was said he would not break his fast, and he would break his fast until it was said he would not fast. And he used to observe the most fasting in the month of Sha'ban.  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَصُومُ حَتَّى يُقَالَ لَا يُفْطِرُ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى يُقَالَ لَا يَصُومُ وَكَانَ أَكْثَرُ صَوْمِهِ فِي شَعْبَانَ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Perform ablution from what fire has touched, and wash off any impurities caused by it."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «تَوَضَّئُوا مِمَّا مَسَّتِ النَّارَ وَغَلَتْ بِهِ الْمَرَاجِلُ»
