Sunan an-Nasai 2350 (Book 22, Hadith 261) #16961
The Significance of Fasting in Shaban

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) liked to fast in the month of Shaban and often combined it with Ramadan.

Aishah said: "The month which the Messenger of Allah most liked to fast was Shaban; indeed he used to join it to Ramadan".
أَخْبَرَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي قَيْسٍ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ عَائِشَةَ، تَقُولُ كَانَ أَحَبَّ الشُّهُورِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَصُومَهُ شَعْبَانُ بَلْ كَانَ يَصِلُهُ بِرَمَضَانَ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Aishah states that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) had a special fondness for fasting during the month of Shaban. He would often combine it with fasting during the month of Ramadan, which is one of the five pillars of Islam. This shows us how important fasting is to Muslims and how much emphasis was placed on it by our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It also teaches us that we should strive to make our worship more meaningful and sincere, even if it means combining two months together for extra spiritual benefit. Furthermore, this hadith encourages us to take advantage of every opportunity we have to increase our faith and devotion towards Allah SWT.
