فَصْلٌ مِنْهُ فِيمَا جَاءَ فِي اسْتِقْبَالِ رَمَضَانَ بِيَوْمٍ أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ وَحُكْمِ صَوْمِ يَوْمِ الشَّكِّ
Section: On Beginning Ramadan with a Day or Two and the Ruling of Fasting the Day of Doubt
Hadith 3691
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((لَا تَقَدَّمُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَمَضَانَ بِيَوْمٍ وَلَا يَوْمَيْنِ إِلَّا رَجُلًا كَانَ يَصُومُ صَوْمًا فَلْيَصُمْهُ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Do not fast one or two days before Ramadan, except for a person who habitually fasts on a particular day, then he may fast on that day.
Hadith 3692
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا عَنِ الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي يُخْتَلَفُ فِيهِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، فَقَالَتْ: لَا أَنْ أَصُومَ يَوْمًا مِنْ شَعْبَانَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أُفْطِرَ يَوْمًا مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، قَالَ: فَخَرَجْتُ، فَسَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ وَأَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا فَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا قَالَ: أَزْوَاجُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْلَمُ بِذَكَ مِنَّا
Abdullah bin Abi Musa says: I asked Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) about fasting on a doubtful day in the month of Ramadan. She said: Fasting one day in Sha'ban is more beloved to me than abandoning one day of Ramadan. Hearing this, I left from there and asked the same question to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar and Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah. They said: The wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) know these matters better.
