Beginning of the Musnad of Ibn Abbas
Musnad Abi Ya'la 2602 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would keep
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ صَوْمِ رَجَبٍ ، كَيْفَ تَرَى فِيهِ ؟ فَقَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - كَانَ يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ : لَا يُفْطِرُ ، وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ : لَا يَصُومُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that "the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would keep (voluntary) fasts until we would say (among ourselves) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) would not leave off now, and when he left off fasting we would think that he (peace and blessings be upon him) would not fast (any more)." (Sa'id bin Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated this hadith in answer to the question of Uthman bin Hakim (may Allah have mercy on him) about fasting in the month of Rajab.)
