The Messenger exhorted Muslims to fast on the following days: six days of Shawwal; Muharram 10 ('Ashura) and the days immediately preceding and following it; most of Sha'ban (the month preceding Ramadan); every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday during the sacred months (Dhu'l-Qa'da, Dhu'l-Hijja, Muharram, Rajab); every Monday and Thursday; and the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth days of each month. He also permitted those who can fast every other day, which is called sawm Dawud (the fast of Prophet David), to do so.
