Musnad Abi Ya'la 4633 — I asked Sayyidah Aishah about the fasting
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَبِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ ، عَنْ صِيَامِ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَتْ : كَانَ يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ صَامَ ، وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ أَفْطَرَ ، وَلَمْ أَرَهُ صَامَ مِنْ شَهْرٍ قَطُّ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ صِيَامِهِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ ، كَانَ يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ كُلَّهُ ، كَانَ يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا .
It is narrated from Abu Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him): I asked Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) about the fasting of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and she said: "When he (peace and blessings be upon him) began fasting (voluntary fasts), we would say (among ourselves) that now he (peace and blessings be upon him) would keep fasting continuously; and when he began leaving fasts, we would say that now he (peace and blessings be upon him) would not fast. I never saw him (peace and blessings be upon him) fast more in any month than in Sha'ban; he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast (almost) the whole of Sha'ban, that is, he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast all of Sha'ban except a few days."
