Usama b. Zaid asked the Prophet (S), “Oh Messenger of Allah, I notice you are fasting a lot in Shaban.”
The Prophet (S) replied, “This is a month between Rajab and Ramadan that people ignore. It’s also the month when deeds are raised up to Allah. So I love that my deeds are raised up to Allah while I’m fasting.”
We can sell inspiration from this in the ways:
1) The Prophet (S) was a man of action, not words. His actions were noticed by people and inspired them.
2) The Prophet (S) described the value of being committed and devoted when the majority isn’t.
3) The unparalleled excellence of the Prophet (S).
