Hadith About The Month Of Shaban
“Shaban is my Month. Shaban cleanses the sins.”
-Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
This month is between Rajab and Ramadan ; People are ignorant of this month. It is the month in which the deeds are presented to the lord of the worlds. I want my deeds to be presented to Allah when I am fasting.
-Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
The messenger of Allah (PBUH) fasted so much in some months. We even thought he did not break his fast in that month. In some months he broke his fast so much that we would say he did not fast on any days in this month. I didn’t see the messenger of Allah (PBUH) fast on the whole month except Ramadan. I never saw his fast in any month more than he did in Shaban.
-Ayesha (RA)
