English translation

2336. It was reported from Abū Salamah, from Umm Salamah, from the Prophet ﷺ, that he never would fast a complete month out of the year except Sha'bān, connecting it to Ramaḍān. (Sahih)

Arabic text

2336 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ تَوْبَةَ الْعَنْبَرِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، «أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَصُومُ مِنَ السَّنَةِ شَهْرًا تَامًّا إِلَّا شَعْبَانَ يَصِلُهُ بِرَمَضَانَ»

    [1] Meaning, whoever fasted during the last days of Sha'bān as well as the first of Ramaḍān.

Commentary

The statements of Umm Salamah, and 'Āishah (see no. 2431) may be construed as referring to the Prophet's ﷺ practice of fasting on many more days of Sha'bān than in any other month of the year except Ramaḍān.
