Aḥmad b. Ziyād b. Jaʿfar al-Hamadānī narrated to us, saying that ʿAlī b. Ibrāhīm b. Hāshim narrated to him, among others, from his father, from Ibn Abī ʿUmayr, from Abān, from Abī ʿAbd Allāh عليه السلام, who said: “Whoever fasts three days of Shaʿbān will have Paradise mandated upon him, and the Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وعلى آله will intercede for him on the Day of Judgement.”
