عن أبي أيوب رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:
“من صام رمضان ثم أتبعه بست من شوال كان كصيام الدهر”
(رواه مسلم)
Abu Ayyub (رضي الله عنه) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم ) said,
“He who observes As-Saum (the fasts) in the month of Ramadan, and also observes As-Saum for six days in the month of Shawwal, it is as if he has observed As-Saum for the whole year.”
[Sahih Muslim]
