2325. ‘Abdullāh bin Abī Qais said: “I heard ‘Āishah, may Allāh be pleased with her, saying: ‘The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to be more tentative in ascertaining the days of Sha’bān then any other month. Then he would fast upon the sighting (of the crescent) of Ramādan. If it was obscured from him,[1] he would complete thirty days (of Sha’bān) and then fast.’” (Sahīh)
2325 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَيْسٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا تَقُولُ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَحَفَّظُ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ مَا لَا يَتَحَفَّظُ مِنْ غَيْرِهِ، ثُمَّ يَصُومُ لِرُؤْيَةِ رَمَضَانَ، فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْهِ عَدَّ ثَلَاثِينَ يَوْمًا ثُمَّ صَامَ»
