The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked a man: Did you fast the last day of Sha'ban ? He replied: No. He said: If you did not observe a fast, you must fast for a day. One of the two narrators said: For two days. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2328)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ «هَلْ صُمْتَ مِنْ سُرَرِ شَعْبَانَ شَيْئًا؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «إِذَا أَفْطَرْتَ فَصُمْ يَوْمَيْنِ» وَقَالَ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ فَصُمْ  

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said to him or to a man while he was listening, 'Did you hear any silence from the secrets of this month?' The man replied, 'No, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'Then if you break your fast, fast for two days in its place.'"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ أَوْ لِرَجُلٍ وَهُوَ يَسْمَعُ صُمْتَ مِنْ سُرَرِ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ شَيْئًا؟ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ لَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ فَإِذَا أَفْطَرْتَ فَصُمْ يَوْمَيْنِ مَكَانَهُ  

[Machine] "That the Prophet ﷺ said to him or to a man, 'Did you observe any fast after mid-Sha'ban?' He said, 'No.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Then if you can, observe fast for two consecutive days.'"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ أَوْ لِرَجُلٍ صُمْتَ مِنْ سُرَرِ شَعْبَانَ شَيْئًا؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَإِذَا أَفْطَرْتَ فَصُمْ يَوْمَيْنِ  

If one amongst us had to break fasts (of Ramadan due to natural reasons, i. e. menses) during the life of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ she could not find it possible to complete them so long she had been in the presence of Messenger of Allah ﷺ till Sha'ban commenced.  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ إِنْ كَانَتْ إِحْدَانَا لَتُفْطِرُ فِي زَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَمَا تَقْدِرُ عَلَى أَنْ تَقْضِيَهُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ شَعْبَانُ  

If one amongst us had to break fasts (of Ramadan due to natural reasons, i. e. menses) during the life of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ she could not find it possible to complete them so long she had been in the presence of Messenger of Allah ﷺ till Sha'ban commenced. (Using translation from Muslim 1146e)  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ «إِنْ كَانَتْ إِحْدَانَا لَتُفْطِرُ فِي زَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ تَقْدِرْ أَنْ تَقْضِيَهُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ شَعْبَانُ مَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَصُومُ فِي شَهْرٍ مَا كَانَ يَصُومُهُ فِي شَعْبَانَ كَانَ يَصُومُهُ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا بَلْ كَانَ يَصُومُهُ كُلَّهُ»  

"One of us (women) would miss some fasts in Ramadan and she would not be able to make it up until Shaban began, and the Messenger of Allah did not fast in any month as he fasted in Shaban; he used to fast all of it, except a little, he used to fast all of it." ' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2178)   

إِنْ كَانَتْ إِحْدَانَا لَتُفْطِرُ فِي زَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَمَا تَقْدِرُ عَلَى أَنْ تَقْضِيَهُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ شَعْبَانُ مَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصُومُ مِنْ شَهْرٍ مَا كَانَ يَصُومُ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ كَانَ يَصُومُهُ كُلَّهُ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا بَلْ كَانَ يَصُومُهُ كُلَّهُ  

I asked 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) about the fasting of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She said: He used to observe fast (at times so continuously) that we said: He has fasted (never to break), and he did not observe fast till we said: He has given up perhaps never to fast, and I never saw him observing (voluntary fasts) more in any other month than that of Sha'ban. (lt appeared as if) he observed fast throughout the whole of Sha'ban except a few (days).  

عَنْ صِيَامِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ صَامَ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ أَفْطَرَ وَلَمْ أَرَهُ صَائِمًا مِنْ شَهْرٍ قَطُّ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ صِيَامِهِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ كَانَ يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ كُلَّهُ كَانَ يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً  

“I asked ‘Aishah about the fasting of the Prophet ﷺ. She said: ‘He used to fast until we thought he would always fast. And he used to not fast until we thought he would always not fast. I never saw him fast more in any month than in Sha’ban. He used to fast all of Sha’ban; he used to fast all of Sha’ban except a little.’”  

عَنْ صِيَامِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ صَامَ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ أَفْطَرَ وَلَمْ أَرَهُ صَامَ مِنْ شَهْرٍ قَطُّ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ صِيَامِهِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ كَانَ يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ كُلَّهُ كَانَ يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً  

[Machine] I asked Aisha, "How did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast?" She said, "He used to fast so much that we would say he doesn't break his fast, and he would break his fast so much that we would say he doesn't fast. I have never seen him fasting in any month more than he did in Sha'ban. He used to fast the whole month of Sha'ban, except for a few days."  

سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ كَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصُومُ؟ قَالَتْ كَانَ يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لَا يُفْطِرُ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لَا يَصُومُ لَمْ أَرَهُ فِي شَهْرٍ أَكْثَرَ صِيَامًا مِنْهُ فِي شَعْبَانَ كَانَ يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ كُلَّهُ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا بَلْ كَانَ يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ كُلَّهُ  

[Machine] Regarding the fasting of the Prophet ﷺ , she said, "The Prophet ﷺ used to fast until we would say he would not break his fast, and then he would break his fast until we would say he did not fast. And I did not see him fasting more in any month than he did in Sha'ban, he used to fast all of it except a little."  

عَنْ صِيَامِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ «كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ صَامَ ثُمَّ يُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ أَفْطَرَ وَمَا رَأَيْتُهُ بَعْدَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ أَكْثَرَ صِيَامًا مِنْهُ فِي شَعْبَانَ كَانَ يَصُومُهُ كُلَّهُ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا»  

“I asked ‘Aishah about the fasting of the Prophet ﷺ. She said: ‘He used to fast until we thought he would always fast. And he used to not fast until we thought he would always not fast. I never saw him fast more in any month than in Sha’ban. He used to fast all of Sha’ban; he used to fast all of Sha’ban except a little.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1710)   

عَنْ صِيَامِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ صَامَ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ أَفْطَرَ وَلَمْ أَرَهُ صَائِمًا مِنْ شَهْرٍ قَطُّ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ صِيَامِهِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ كَانَ يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ كُلَّهُ كَانَ يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا  

I heard 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) as saying: I had to complete some of the fasts of Ramadan, but I could not do it but during the month of Sha'ban due to my duties to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ or with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.  

كَانَ يَكُونُ عَلَىَّ الصَّوْمُ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَمَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَقْضِيَهُ إِلاَّ فِي شَعْبَانَ الشُّغُلُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَوْ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
