​It is reported from Osama Bin Zeid, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: “O Messenger of Allah! I did not see you fasting in any month as you do in the month of Shaban.”


The Prophet said: “People neglect this month which is between Rajab and Ramadan, in this month the deeds of the people are presented to Allah; so I like my deeds to be presented while I am fasting.”
