مسند الصديقة عائشة بنت الصديق رضي الله عنها

Hadith 1153:1300

Ibn Numayr narrated to us, he said: Muhammad—meaning Ibn ‘Amr—narrated to us, he said: Abu Salamah narrated to us, from ‘Aishah, she said: I said: "O Mother, how was the fasting of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace?" She said: "He would fast until we would say: 'He does not break his fast,' and he would break his fast until we would say: 'He does not fast.' And I did not see him fast in any month more than his fasting in Sha‘ban; he would fast Sha‘ban, except for a little, or rather, he would fast all of it."

حدثنا ابن نمير، قال: حدثنا محمد يعني ابن عمرو، قال: حدثنا أبو سلمة، عن عائشة، قال: قلت: أي أمه، كيف كان صيام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم؟ قالت: " كان يصوم حتى نقول: لا يفطر، ويفطر حتى نقول: لا يصوم، ولم أره يصوم من شهر أكثر من صيامه من شعبان، كان يصوم شعبان إلا قليلا، بل كان يصومه كله "
