Muhammad bin Munkadir narrates: I have come to know that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was asked about making up missed fasts of Ramadan separately, so he said: "It is up to you. What do you think, if a person owes a debt and he pays one or two dirhams at a time, will this not be considered payment? Then Allah is more deserving to forgive and pardon." Its chain is Hasan, but this narration is Mursal. Other narrators besides Abu Bakr have transmitted it as a connected narration, but they have narrated it from Musa bin Uqbah, from Abu Zubair, from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), and this narration is also not established as connected.
