The narrator asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) about the month of Shaban, “Did any of your ancestors observe fast in these days?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “My greatest ancestor the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) used to observe many fasts during Shaban.”
وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِی نَجْرَانَ عَنْ یُونُسَ بْنِ یَعْقُوبَ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ صَوْمِ شَعْبَانَ- هَلْ کَانَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ آبَائِکَ یَصُومُهُ فَقَالَ خَیْرُ آبَائِی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَکْثَرُ صِیَامِهِ فِی شَعْبَانَ.
