1647. It was narrated from Qāsim Abu 'Abdur-Rahmān that he heard Mu'āwiyah bin Abu Sufyān on the pulpit saying: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to say from the pulpit, before the month of Ramadān: 'Fasting will begin on such and such a day, but we are going to start fasting earlier,[1] so whoever wants to start fasting earlier (i.e., in Sha'bān), let him do so, and whoever wants to wait until Ramadān begins, let him do so.'" (Da'if)

Arabic text

1647 - حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَقُولُ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، قَبْلَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ: «الصِّيَامُ يَوْمَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَنَحْنُ مُتَقَدِّمُونَ، فَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَتَقَدَّمْ، وَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَتَأَخَّرْ»

Commentary

This Hadith is Weak and it is also contradictory to the Authentic Hadith of Abu Hurairah ﷺ coming ahead, i.e., Hadith 1650.
