حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه، قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، ومحمد بن الحسين بن أبي الخطّاب جميعاً، عن عمر بن عيسى، عن سماعة بن مهران، قال: قلت لأبي عبد الله (عليه السلام): هل صام أحد من آبائك شعبان؟ قال: خير آبائي رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) وكان يصومه.
My father (ra) narrated to us, saying that Saʿd b. ʿAbd Allāh narrated to him among others, saying that Aḥmad b. Muḥammad b. ʿĪsā and Muḥammad b. al-Ḥusayn b. Abī’l-Khaṭṭāb together narrated to him among others, from ʿUmar b. ʿĪsā, from Samāʿa b. Mihrān, who narrated: “I said to Abī ʿAbd Allāh (as): “Did any of your forefathers fast in the month of Shaʿbān?” So he replied: “The best of my forefathers was the Messenger of Allāh (sawa), and he used to fast therein.”
