Hadith 1727
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهِ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "لَا تَقَدَّمُوا قَبْلَ رَمَضَانَ يَوْمًا، وَلَا يَوْمَيْنِ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ رَجُلًا كَانَ يَصُومُ صَوْمًا، فَلْيَصُمْهُ".
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not fast a day or two before Ramadan, except for a person who has the habit of fasting on those days, then he may fast on that day as well."

The hadith specifically establishes the prohibition and dislike (karahah) of fasting one or two days before Ramadan solely in anticipation of or out of respect for Ramadan.
