The virtue of fasting six days of Shawwaal
Fasting six days of Shawwaal after the obligatory fast of
Ramadaan is Sunnah Mustahabbah, not waajib. It is recommended for the Muslim to
fast six days of Shawwaal, and in this there is great virtue and an immense
reward. Whoever fasts these six days will have recorded for him a reward as if
he had fasted a whole year, as was reported in a saheeh hadeeth from the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Abu Ayyoob (may Allaah be
pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever fasts Ramadaan and follows it with six days
of Shawwaal, it will be as if he fasted for a lifetime.”
(Narrated by Muslim, Abu Dawood, al-Tirmidhi, al-Nisaa’i and
Ibn Maajah).
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
explained this when he said: “Whoever fasts for six days after (Eid) al-Fitr
has completed the year: (whoever does a good deed (hasanah) will have ten
hasanah like it).” According to another report: “Allaah has made for each
hasanah ten like it, so a month is like fasting ten months, and fasting six
days completes the year.”
(al-Nisaa’i and Ibn Maajah. See also Saheeh al-Targheeb
wa’l-Tarheeb, 1/421). It was also narrated by Ibn Khuzaymah with the wording:
“Fasting for the month of Ramadaan brings the reward of ten like it, and
fasting for six days brings the reward of two months, and that is the fasting
of the whole year.”
The Hanbali and Shaafa’i fuqaha’ explained that fasting six
days of Shawwaal after fasting Ramadaan makes it as if one has fasted for an
entire year of obligatory fasts, because the multiplication of the reward
applies even to naafil fasts, because each hasanah brings the reward of ten
like it.
Another of the important benefits of fasting six days of
Shawwaal is that is makes up for any shortfall in a person’s obligatory
Ramadaan fasts, because no one is free of shortcomings or sins that have a
negative effect on his fasting. On the Day of Resurrection, some of his naafil
deeds will be taken to make up the shortcomings in his obligatory deeds, as the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The first thing for
which people will be brought to account on the Day of Resurrection will be
their salaah (prayer). Our Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, will say to
His angels – although He knows best – ‘Look at the salaah of My slave, whether
it is complete or incomplete.’ If it is perfect, it will be recorded as perfect,
and if something is lacking, He will say, ‘Look and see whether My slave did
any voluntary (naafil) prayers.’ If he did some voluntary prayers, [Allaah]
will say, Complete the obligatory actions of My slave from his voluntary
actions.’ Then all his actions will be dealt with in a similar manner.”
(Narrated by Abu Dawood).
And Allaah knows best.
