The Prophet never fasted in any month more than in the month of Sha’ban. He used to say, “Do
those deeds which you can do easily, as Allah will not get tired (of giving rewards) till you get bored

was done regularly (throughout the life) even if it were little. And whenever the Prophet offered a
prayer he used to offer it regularly .

the month of Sha’ban.
