Daily Hadith: Riyad Us-Saliheen (Gardens of the Righteous) : 228/1254

Today is Mon 06-Jun-2022 - 07 Dhul-Qadah 1443 I would like share a hadith on daily basis for my loving blurtian. I hope we read at least one hadith daily.
باب استحباب صوم ستة من أيام من شوال
عَنْ أَبي أَيوبِ رضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ ، أَنَّ رسول اللَّهِ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم قَالَ : « مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضانَ ثُمَّ أَتَبَعَهُ سِتًّا مِنْ شَوَّالٍ كانَ كصِيَامِ الدَّهْرِ » رواهُ مُسْلِمٌ .
1254/228 - رياض الصالحين
The Desirability of Fasting six Days in the Month of Shawwal
Abu Ayyub (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "He who observes As-Saum (the fasts) in the month of Ramadan, and also observes As-Saum for six days in the month of Shawwal, it is as if he has observed As-Saum for the whole year."[Muslim].
Commentary:
According to the formula that there is at least ten-fold reward for every virtue, the Saum of one month (Ramadan) are equivalent to Saum of ten months. If one also observes six days of Saum of Shawwal, they will be equal to Saum of two months. Thus, one becomes eligible for the reward of one full years' Saum. He who makes it a permanent feature is like one who observes Saum throughout his life. He will be considered by Allah as one who observes Saum permanently. Although voluntary in nature, they are highly important. One can observe these six-day Saum at a stretch or with intervals, but their observance one after the other at the beginning of the month is better. Similarly, if a person has missed some Saum of Ramadan due to illness, travelling etc., he should first make up the shortfall and then observe the voluntary six-day Saum of Shawwal.
