Six days of Shawwal

Wednesday, May 21, 1975

مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَهُ سِتًّا مِنْ شَوَّالٍ كَانَ كَصِيَامِ الدَّهْرِ
Transliteration

Man sama Ramadana thumma atba'ahu sittan min Shawwalin kana ka-siyami-d-dahr.

Translation

Whoever fasts Ramadan and follows it with six days of Shawwal, it is as if he fasted the whole year.

Narrated by Abu Ayyub al-Ansari·Sahih Muslim 1164
Reflection

One month equals ten by the rule of ten-fold reward; six more equal sixty; together they are a year. Mathematics from a Merciful Lord.

One saying of the Prophet ﷺ a day.

Pair this with the daily verse, the 99 Names, and a few beads of dhikr. Small things, repeated, leave the deepest mark.
