قُلْتُ لَهُ رَجُلٌ أَسَرَتْهُ الرُّومُ وَ لَمْ يَصُمْ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ وَ لَمْ يَدْرِ أَيُّ شَهْرٍ هُوَ قَالَ يَصُومُ شَهْراً وَ يَتَوَخَّاهُ وَ يَحْسُبُ فَإِنْ كَانَ الشَّهْرُ الَّذِي صَامَهُ قَبْلَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ لَمْ يُجْزِهِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ بَعْدَ رَمَضَانَ أَجْزَأَهُ .
Translation
Ahmad Bin Idrees, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Kufy, from Ubeys Bin Hisham, from Aban Bin Usman, (It has been narrated) from Abdul Rahman son of Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘A man was captured by the Romans and did not Fast the Month of Ramazan, and he did not know which month it was’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He should Fast a month, and he should envisage and calculate. So if it was such that the month he Fasted in was before the Month of Ramazan, it would not suffice him; and if it was such that it was after the Month of Ramazan, it would suffice him’.
