2328. Imrān bin Ḥuṣain said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ asked a man: 'Did you fast from the last days (Sarar)[1] of Sha'bān?' He said: 'No.' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'After completing (the fast of Ramaḍān) fast a day.' One of the two of them (the narrators) said: "Two days." (Saḥīḥ)
2328 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، وَسَعِيدٍ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ: «هَلْ صُمْتَ مِنْ شَهْرِ شَعْبَانَ شَيْئًا؟» قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: «فَإِذَا أَفْطَرْتَ فَصُمْ يَوْمًا»، وَقَالَ: أَحَدُهُمَا يَوْمَيْنِ

This Hadīth might apparently seem to be in conflict with the preceding one. The disparity, however, is resolved when we consider the fact that this permission or instruction is only meant for the person who is already under a vow to observe the fasts, or has constantly been observing those fasts on those particular days. No other person who is neither under a vow nor has been accustomed to observing those fasts but wishes to keep them as voluntary fasts is allowed to do so.
