حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَ: لَا يَتَقَدَّمَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ رَمَضَانَ بِصَوْمِ يَوْمٍ أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ إِلَاّ أَنْ يَكُونَ رَجُلٌ كَانَ يَصُومُ صَوْمَهُ فَلْيَصُمْ ذلِكَ الْيَوْمَ.
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "None of you should observe Saum (fast) for a day or two ahead of Ramadân, unless he has the habit of observing Saum ( Nawâfil ), (and if his Saum coincides with that day) then he can observe Saum that day." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 138, Vol. 3 )
