Hadith 1669
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ ، تَقُولُ : " إِنْ كَانَ لَيَكُونُ عَلَيَّ الصِّيَامُ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَمَا أَقْضِيهِ حَتَّى يَجِيءَ شَعْبَانُ " .
´It was narrated that Abu Salamah said:` “I heard ‘Aishah say: ‘I used to owe fasts from the month of Ramadan, and I would not make them up for until Sha’ban came.’”
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
The missed fasts of Ramadan due to a valid Shar‘i excuse can be made up at any time during the year. It is not necessary that these fasts be observed specifically in Shawwal.
➋
The Mother of the Believers (radi Allahu anha) would delay making up the missed fasts because she feared that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) might desire intimacy, and due to fasting, she would be deprived of serving the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). The Mother of the Believers (radi Allahu anha) would make up the fasts in Sha‘ban because the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to observe many voluntary fasts in this month. Thus, the reason for delay that existed in other months would no longer remain.
➌
A woman should strive by every possible means to keep her husband pleased, provided that she does not have to commit anything that is unlawful according to the Shari‘ah.
