Virtue of Fasting in Sha`ban

`A’ishah narrated that The Messenger of Allah used to fast until one would say, he never breaks his fast, and he would abandon fasting until one would say that he never fasts. And I never saw the Messenger of Allaا fast for a complete month except the month of Ramadan, and I never saw him fast in a month more than he did in the month of Sha`ban.” (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
