| To keep Fast for 3 days: According to the hadith which is narrated by Ibn Habaan radi Allahu anhu that the Beloved of Allah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam said: "When the night of 15th Shabaan arrives spend the night awake and keep fast the next day". Hadrat Abu Hurayrah radi Allahu ta'ala anhu reports that the Most Beloved of Allah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam said often in his Khutba(sermon): "O people! Lighten and cleanse your bodies by way of fasting during Shabaan, so that it shall be easy and helpful to you for the fast during Ramadan. Whoso fasts for three days during Shabaan, all his past sins are wiped off".(Baihaqi) |
