CHAPTER: Regarding Whoever Connected Sha’ban With Ramadan
Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: Do not fast one day or two days just before Ramadan, except in the case of a man who has been in the habit of observing the particular fast, for he may fast on that day.
Narrated Umm Salamah, Ummul Muminin: She never saw the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم fasting the whole month except Sha'ban which he combined with Ramadan.
