When this verse was revealed 'And as for those who can fast with difficulty, (e.g. an old man), they have (a choice either to fast or) to feed a miskin (poor person) (for every day). Those among us who did not want to fast would pay the fidyah, until the verse after it was revealed and abrogated this.

:Telah mengabarkan kepada kami 'Amr bin 'Utsman dia berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami Baqiyyah dia berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami Bahir dari Khalid bin Ma'dan dari Jubair bin Nufair bahwasanya 'Aisyah berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam berpuasa di bulan Sya'ban satu bulan penuh.

concerning this verse And as for those who can fast with difficulty, (a choice either to fast or) to feed a Miskin (poor person) (for every day). That for those who can fast with difficulty means they find it hard; to feed a Miskin means feeding one poor person for each day. But whoever does good of his own accord means feeding another poor person. This is not abrogated, and it is bette for him. And: that you fast is better for you means there is no concession regarding this except for those who are not able to fast, or who are incurably sick.

:Telah mengabarkan kepada kami 'Amr bin 'Ali dari 'Abdurrahman dia berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami Tsabit bin Qais Abu Al Ghushn - seorang syaikh dari penduduk Madinah - dia berkata; telah menceritakan kepadaku Abu Sa'id Al Maqburi dia berkata; telah menceritakan kepadaku Usamah bin Zaid dia berkata; Aku bertanya; Wahai Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam aku tidak pernah melihat engkau berpuasa dalam satu bulan sebagaimana engkau berpuasa di bulan Sya'ban? Beliau bersabda: Itulah bulan yang manusia lalai darinya; -ia bulan yang berada- di antara bulan Rajab dan Ramadlan yaitu bulan yang disana berisikan berbagai amal perbuatan diangkat kepada Rabb semesta alam aku senang amalku diangkat ketika aku sedang berpuasa.
