حَدَّثَنَا هَدَّابُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ وَلَمْ أَفْهَمْ مُطَرِّفًا مِنْ هَدَّابٍ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ أَوْ لِآخَرَ أَصُمْتَ مِنْ سُرَرِ شَعْبَانَ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَإِذَا أَفْطَرْتَ فَصُمْ يَوْمَيْنِ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 2751
Abu Qatada Ansari (Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah's Massenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) was asked about fasting on Monday, whereupon he said: It is (the day) when I was born and revelation was sent down to me.
