حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُبَارَكٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

رضى الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَقَدَّمُوا رَمَضَانَ بِصَوْمِ يَوْمٍ وَلَا يَوْمَيْنِ إِلاَّ رَجُلٌ كَانَ يَصُومُ صَوْمًا فَلْيَصُمْهُ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Do not observe fast for a day, or two days ahead of Ramadan except a person who is in the habit of observing a particular fast; he may fast on that day.

আমর ইবনু 'আলী (রহঃ) ..... ইবনু আব্বাস (রাযিঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমাকে নিষেধ করা হয়েছে আমি যেন রুকূর মধ্যে কুরআন পাঠ না করি। এ সূত্রে ‘আলীর নাম উল্লেখ নেই।

عبد اللہ بن حنین نے حضرت ابن عباس ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ سے روایت کی کہ انہوں نے کہا : مجھے رکوع کی حالت میں قراءت سے منع کیا گیا ہے ۔ اس سند میں حضرت علی ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ کا ذکر نہیں کیا ۔

Dan telah menceritakan kepadaku [Amru bin Ali] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Ja'far] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syu'bah] dari [Abu Bakar bin Hafsh] dari [Abdullah bin Hunain] dari [Ibnu Abbas] bahwasanya dia berkata, "Saya dilarang untuk membaca (al-Qur'an, sedangkan saya dalam keadaan rukuk." Dan dia tidak menyebutkan Ali dalam sanad tersebut)

Bana Amr b. Ali de rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Muhammed b. Câ'fer rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Şu'be, Ebu Bekir b. Hafs'dan, o da Abdullah b. Huneyn'den, o da İbni Abbâs'dan naklen rivayet ettiki: İbni Abbâs: «Rüku halinde bulunduğum zaman Kur'ân okumaktan nehyolundum.» demiş. Ravi isnâtda Alî'yi zikretmemişdir

Sahih Muslim 1082a, Book 13, The Book of Fasting, Hadith 24. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade Muslims from fasting a day or two ahead of Ramadan out of cautiousness for Ramadan, because the obligation of fasting Ramadan is based on sighting the crescent, and there is no need for affectation. However, if someone has a habitual fast, such as fasting every other day or fasting on Mondays or Thursdays, and it coincides with this time, then he may fast.

This is not considered a part of anticipating Ramadan. This also applies to obligatory fasts, such as making up for missed fasts or fulfilling a vow.

What it teaches

  • Affectation is prohibited, and the observance of worship as legislated, without any addition or omission, is obligatory.
  • Part of the rationale behind this—and Allah knows best—is to distinguish between the obligatory acts of worship and the voluntary ones, to be prepared for receiving Ramadan with energy and eagerness, and for fasting to be the distinctive mark of that virtuous and special month.
