#9: Fasting the Month of Ramadan +6 Days is Equivalent to Fasting the Whole Year, or Even a Lifetime
Of the virtues of Ramadan, one is awarded with the
rewards of fasting the whole year or even a lifetime fasting. This is if he
fasts 6 days in the month of Shawwāl after fasting the month of Ramadan. This is
what is understood from the narration of Abī Ayyūb al-Anṣārī raḍiya Allāhu ‘anhu as reported by Imām Muslims that the
Prophet ṣallā Allāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam said:
“Whoever fasts Ramadan then follows it with six
days of Shawwāl, it will be like fasting for a lifetime.”
Also, Imām Aḥmad narrates that the Prophet ṣallā Allāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam said:
“Whoever fasts Ramadan, a month is like ten months,
and fasting six days after al-Fitr will complete the year.”
