737. (Another chain, a Hadīth similar to no. 736) for that, from 'Aishah, from the Prophet ﷺ. (Ḥasan)
Sālim Abū An-Naḍr and others,
narrated this Hadīth from Abū Salamah, from ‘Āishah, and it is similar to the narration of Muḥammad bin ‘Amr. (a narrator in the chain of this Hadīth) It has been reported that Ibn Al-Mubārak said about this Hadīth: “It is allowed in the language of the ‘Arabs, that when one fasts most of the month, it is said that he fasted all of it. It is said: ‘So-and-so stood the whole night in prayer’ while perhaps he ate or involved himself with some other matter.” It is as if Ibn Al-Mubārak saw that both of the Aḥādīth were in agreement, saying that the meaning of this Hadīth is only that he fasted most of the month.

Commentary
The Prophet ﷺ explained that the wisdom of fasting frequently in Sha'bān is that people are neglectful of the good and blessing of it, while it is such a month during which the deeds of the whole year are presented to Allāh; therefore I wish that my deeds are presented while I am fasting.
