Chapter 208: About the Superiority of the Voluntary Fasts of Moharram, Sha'aban, and Al-Ashorol Horom (the Inviolable Months 25)

Translation: Narrated Ibn Abbas: ' The Prophet said: " Omra has entered (has been included) in Hajj until the Day of Judgment. " Abu-Issa said: " The Hadith of Ibn Abbass Hasan and the meaning of this Hadith is that there is no harm in performing Omra during the months of Hajj. Al-Shaafe'e, Ahmed, and Ishaq interpreted it so. This Hadith abrogates the allegation of the people of the pre-Islamic era that performing Omra in the months of Hajj is a capital sin. As a result of the advent of Islam, it became permissible to perform it during the months of Hajj. The months of Hajj are Shawwaal, Zol-Qa'ada and the first ten days of Zol-Hijja; and this is the valid time for entering the state of Ihraam for Hajj. As for Al-Ashhor Al-Horom (the four Sacred Months), they are Rajab, Zol-Qa'ada, Zol-Hijja, and Moharram. This is the opinion of more than one of the Prophet's companions and others. "

Translation: 681. Narrated Abu-Huraira: ' The Messenger of Allah said: " The best fasting besides (fasting in the month of) Ramadhan is (fasting in) the month of Allah, the month of Al Moharram 26, and the best prayer besides the obligatory prayer is (voluntary) prayer by night. " (At-Termizi)

Translation: 26 The first month of the lunar year.

682. Narrated Umm Salama: ' I have never seen the Prophet observing the fast for two consecutive months except for Sha'aban and Ramadhan. ' (At-Termizi)

On the same occasion, A'isha said: ' I have never seen the Prophet ﷺ observing fasting in a month more than his fasting in Sha'aban. He used to observe fasting the whole month apart from a few days, in fact, he used to observe fasting the whole month. "

Ibn Al-Mobarak said: " It is permissible in Arabic when one observes the fast for most of the month to say: ' He observed fasting the whole month. " 333
