Hadith 234 حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیِّ بْنِ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ عَنْ عَمِّهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص یَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ وَ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ وَ یَنْهَی النَّاسَ أَنْ یَصِلُوهُمَا وَ کَانَ یَقُولُ هُمَا شَهْرَا اللَّهِ وَ هُمَا کَفَّارَهٌ لِمَا قَبْلَهُمَا وَ مَا بَعْدَهُمَا مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ.
8. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ali b. Majluwayh from his uncle Muhammad b. Abi al-Qasim from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from Umar b. Khalid from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) used to fast in the months of Shaban and Ramadan continuously. However he used to stop people from doing so.These are the months of Allah and they compensate for the sins of previous and next months.”
