Hanad narrated to us, Abdah narrated to us, on the authority of Muhammad bin Amr, Abu Salamah narrated to us, on the authority of Aisha, on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace. It was narrated on the authority of Ibn Blessed is that he said in this hadith: It is permissible in Arab speech if he fasts most of the month to be said to have fasted the entire month. It is said that so-and-so stayed up all night. Perhaps he had dinner and was busy with some business. It is as if Ibn al-Mubarak saw both hadiths as agreeing. He says that the meaning of this hadith is that he used to fast most of the month. Abu Issa said, and Salem Abu Al-Nadr and others narrated This is the hadith on the authority of Abu Salamah, on the authority of Aisha, similar to the narration of Muhammad bin Amr.
