Usamah bin Zaid said:

"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I do not see you fasting any month as much as 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐧.' He said: '𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐲 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, between Rajab and Ramadan. It is a month in which the deeds are taken up to the Lord of the worlds, and I like that my deeds be taken up when I am fasting."'
