Fasting 6 days in Shawwal

I know that I am jumping ahead in the order a little bit, but it is already the 10th of Shawwal, and I want to share this hadith while we still have plenty of time to benefit from it.

Abu Ayyub al-Ansari related that Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

Whoever fasts the month of Ramadan and then follows it with six days of fasting in the month of Shawwal, it will be as if he had fasted the year through.

Sahih Muslim (1163)


Your brother,

Ibraheem
