قَالَ الْحَارِثُ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَوْنٍ ، ثَنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ ، ثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ ، ثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَعْدَانَ ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ يَطَّلِعُ لَيْلَةَ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ إِلَى خَلْقِهِ ، فَيَغْفِرُ لَهُمْ كُلِّهِمْ ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ مُشْرِكًا أَوْ مُصَارِمًا . قَالُوا : وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ ، فَيَدْخُلُ رَمَضَانُ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ تَعْظِيمًا لِرَمَضَانَ .
It is narrated from Kathir bin Murrah (may Allah have mercy on him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, your Lord turns towards His creation (with special favour) on the night of the fifteenth of Sha'ban and forgives them all, except one who associates partners with Allah or one who cuts off ties (with his Muslim brother, harbouring rancour)." The narrator says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast much in Sha'ban, to the extent that, out of honour and reverence for Ramadan, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would enter the month of Ramadan while fasting.
وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ ، ثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ أُسَامَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا أَفْطَرَ أَصْبَحَ مِنَ الْغَدِ صَائِمًا مِنْ شَوَّالٍ ، حَتَّى يَتِمَّ عَلَى آخِرِهِ .
Imam Abu Ya'la (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated through his chain that it is narrated from Sayyiduna Usamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when he had broken his fast (on the day of Eid after the month of Ramadan), he would begin the fasts of Shawwal from the very next day, until he completed them to their end.
وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا مُحْرِزُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ ، ثَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رُبَّمَا يَقْرِنُ شَعْبَانَ بِرَمَضَانَ .
Imam Abu Ya'la narrates with his chain that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would sometimes join the month of Sha'ban to Ramadan (by fasting much voluntarily)."
