Commentary
“I am suprised” means before sighting of the crescent of the month of Ramaḍān, one should not fast on the thirtieth doubtful day of Sha'bān; it is clearly an affectation and sternness. In the authentic narrations, fasting on this day has been termed disobedience of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.
