Hadith 711
711 صحيح حديث عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لاَ يُفْطِرُ، وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لاَ يَصُومُ، فَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اسْتَكْمَلَ صِيَامَ شَهْرٍ إِلاَّ رَمَضَانَ، وَمَا رَأَيْتُه أَكْثَرَ صِيَامًا مِنْهُ فِي شَعْبَانَ
Narrated by Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): When the Messenger of Allah would begin to observe voluntary fasts, we (among ourselves) would say that now he will not stop fasting, and when he would stop fasting, we would say that now he will not fast again. I never saw the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) observe voluntary fasts for a whole month except for Ramadan, and I have not seen him fast in any month more than he did in Sha'ban.
Hadith 712
712 صحيح حديث عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: لَمْ يَكُنِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصُومُ شَهْرًا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ، فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ كُلَّهُ، وَكَانَ يَقُولُ: خُذُوا مِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا تُطِيقُونَ فَإِنَّ اللهَ لاَ يَمَلُّ حَتَّى تَمَلُّوا وَأَحَبُّ الصَّلاَةِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا دُووِمَ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنْ قَلَّتْ، وَكَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى صَلاَةً دَاوَمَ عَلَيْهَا
Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not fast in any month more than he did in Sha'ban. He would fast for the entire days of Sha'ban. He used to say: "Do those deeds which you are able to do, for Allah does not tire (of giving reward) until you tire (of doing deeds) yourselves." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) liked that prayer the most which was performed regularly, even if it was little. Thus, whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) started a prayer, he would always continue it.
Hadith 713
713 صحيح حديث ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: مَا صَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَهْرًا كَامِلاً قَطُّ غَيْرَ رَمَضَانَ، وَيَصُومُ حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْقَائِلُ، لاَ وَاللهِ لاَ يُفْطِرُ؛ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْقَائِلُ، لاَ وَاللهِ لاَ يَصُومُ
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that, except for Ramadan, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) never fasted for an entire month. When he began to observe voluntary fasts, an onlooker would say, "By Allah, he will not stop fasting now." And similarly, when he stopped keeping voluntary fasts, an onlooker would say, "By Allah, he will not fast now."
