Mukhtasar Bukhari (Abridged) 960 — Mention of the Prophet fasting

Sayedna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the fasting of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), so he replied: Whenever I wished to see the Prophet (peace be upon him) fasting in any month, I would see him fasting, and whenever I wished to see him not fasting, I would see him not fasting. And whenever I wished to see him praying at night, I would see him praying, and whenever I wished to see him sleeping (at night), I would see him sleeping. And I have never touched any cloth of fur or silk softer than the blessed hand of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), nor have I ever found musk or ambergris more fragrant than the scent (of sweat) of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).
