Sha’baan

  عَنْ أُسَامَة بْن زَيْدٍ قَالَ : ( قُلْت : يَا رَسُول اللَّه ، لَمْ أَرَك تَصُومُ مِنْ شَهْر مِنْ الشُّهُور مَا تَصُوم مِنْ شَعْبَان , قَالَ : ذَلِكَ شَهْرٌ يَغْفُلُ النَّاس عَنْهُ بَيْنَ رَجَبٍ وَرَمَضَان , وَهُوَ شَهْر تُرْفَعُ فِيهِ الأَعْمَال إِلَى رَبّ الْعَالَمِينَ ، فَأُحِبُّ أَنْ  

يُرْفَعَ عَمَلِي وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ 

Usaamah ibn Zayd said: “I said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, I do not see you fasting in any month more than in Sha’baan.’ He said, ‘That is a month concerning which many people are heedless, between Rajab and Ramadaan. It is the month is which people’s deeds are taken up to the Lord of the Worlds, and I would like my deeds to be taken up whilst I am fasting
