Hadith 311
۞
1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Hamzah ibn Ya‘liy from Zakariya ibn Adam from al- Kahiliy who has said the following
“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of the day that is not known to be of the month of al-Sha’ban. He (the Imam) said, ’Fasting one day of the month of al-Sha’ban is more beloved to me than losing one day of the month of Ramadan.”’
1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ يَعْلَى عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ آدَمَ عَنِ الْكَاهِلِيِّ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنِ الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي يُشَكُّ فِيهِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ قَالَ لأَنْ أَصُومَ يَوْماً مِنْ شَعْبَانَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أُفْطِرَ يَوْماً مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ.
