Middle of Month of Shaʿbân. Night of 15 Shaban

The Prophet said: « إذا كانت ليلةُ النصفِ من شعبانَ فقوموا ليلَها وصُوموا نهارها » which means: « Spend the night preceding the 15th day of Shaʿbân in acts of obedience, and fast the next day. » The night of the middle-Shaban is a blessed night.

Fasting six days of Shawwal

The Prophet is reported to have said which means: « Whoever fasts the month of Ramaḍân, and then follows it up by (fasting) six days of Shawwal, it is as though he has fasted the whole year. » (narrated by Imam Muslim)
