night (24 hours).” The man asked, “Is there any more (praying)?” Allah’s Apostle replied, “No, but if
you want to offer the Nawafil prayers (you can).” Allah’s Apostle further said to him: “You have to
observe fasts during the month of Ramad, an.” The man asked, “Is there any more fasting?” Allah’s
Apostle replied, “No, but if you want to observe the Nawafil fasts (you can.)” Then Allah’s Apostle fur –
