8. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ali b. Majluwayh from his uncle Muhammad b. Abi al-Qasim from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from Umar b. Khalid from Abi Ja’far عليه السلام who said: “The Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم used to fast in the months of Shaban and Ramadan continuously. However he used to stop people from doing so.These are the months of Allah and they compensate for the sins of previous and next months.”
