Sahih MuslimHadith Number 1146b
وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ، بْنُ بِلاَلٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَذَلِكَ لِمَكَانِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1146b
This Hadith is a variation of the report about making up missed Ramadan fasts. It says that Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, did not observe those missed fasts except in Sha'ban, and the wording connects this with her regard for the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. The core teaching stays close to the text: she had missed Ramadan fasts and completed them later when she was able. The narration also gives a clear search topic for readers: Aisha missed fasts in Sha'ban. It does not add a long legal discussion, but it does show care for both the Prophet’s presence and the duty of completing fasts.
What we learn from this hadith
- Missed fasts from Ramadan remained a matter to be completed.
- Aisha’s timing was connected with her regard for the Messenger of Allah.
- The narration highlights care and responsibility in worship.
- Sha'ban is named as the time when the missed fasts were made up.
