684. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Do not precede the month with a day nor with two days, unless that fast falls on a day that one of you would have (normally) fasted. Fast with its sighting, and break fast with its sighting, and if it is cloudy, then count for thirty days, and then break (the fast)." (Saḥīḥ) (He said:) There are narrations on this topic from some of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ. Maṣṣūr bin Al-Mu'tamir informed us from Rib'i bin Hīrāsh, from some of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, and it is similar to this. Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Abū Hurairah is a Ḥasan Saḥīḥ Hadīth. This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge, they consider it disliked for a man to be hasty by fasting before the month of Ramaḍān begins, if he thinks that is for Ramaḍān. If a man normally performs some fast, and that fast falls on that day, then there is no harm in this according to them.

٦٨٤ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ ‌مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَقَدَّمُوا الشَّهْرَ» بِيَوْمٍ وَلَا بِيَوْمَيْنِ، إِلَّا أَنْ يُوَافِقَ ذَلِكَ صَوْمًا كَانَ يَصُومُهُ أَحَدُكُمْ، صُومُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ وَأَفْطِرُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ، فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَعُدُّوا ثَلَاثِينَ ثُمَّ أَفْطِرُوا. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. رَوَاهُ مَنْصُورُ بْنُ الْمُعْتَمِرِ، عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِنَحْوِ هَذَا. حَدِيثُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ؛ كَرِهُوا أَنْ يَتَعَجَّلَ الرَّجُلُ بِصِيَامٍ قَبْلَ دُخُولِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ لِمَعْنَى رَمَضَانَ، وَإِنْ كَانَ رَجُلٌ يَصُومُ صَوْمًا فَوَافَقَ صِيَامُهُ ذَلِكَ فَلَا بَأْسَ بِهِ عِنْدَهُمْ.
