Question
From the fast of Ramadan and follow your prayers from Shawwal What is the correct translation of this hadith? Would it be correct for someone to use the word al-dahr to mean "one age"? 5683583722
Answer
- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -
The meaning of the hadith is: "Whoever fasts the whole of Ramadan and the six fasts of Shawwal after that, he should fast for a whole year." In the hadith in question, the word الدهر means one year. Because in one of the narrations of Sunan Nasai and Ibn Majah about the virtues of the six fasts of Shawwal, Al-Dahr has been replaced by Assanah, that is, one year. Therefore here also Assanah by Al-Dahr or one year will be the purpose. Not an era. Note that the word الدهر literally does not mean a specific time. So الدهر does not mean age. The lexical meanings of the word الدهر are as follows: (1) Whole life. (2) Long time. (3) Significant indefinite period. (4) Thousands of years (5) One million years. It is to be noted that just as the meaning of الدهر has been given in the hadith for 1 year, some people have used it in the sense of whole life. Basically, there is no conflict between these two words. Because the chhawab of a good period is increased up to ten times. As such, fasting thirty-six days, including six in Shawwal, means three hundred and sixty days, that is, one year of fasting. Therefore, a person who fasts thirty-six times a year in this way actually fasts for the rest of his life. 9546375245
