حَدَّثَنَا
حَسَنٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا
حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ
أَبِي لُبَابَةَ الْعُقَيْلِيِّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
عَائِشَةَ ، تَقُولُ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ : مَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ ، وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ : مَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَصُومَ ، وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ بِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَالزُّمَرِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that sometimes the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would fast so continuously that we would say, "Now the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) will keep fasting continuously," and sometimes he would leave off fasting so much that we would say, "Now the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) will keep leaving off fasting continuously." And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite Surah Bani Isra'il and Surah Az-Zumar every night.
