(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
سُرَيْجُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ ، حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ
أَبِي بِشْرٍ ، عَنْ
سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنِ
ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : " مَا صَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَهْرًا كَامِلًا قَطُّ ، غَيْرَ رَمَضَانَ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ لَيَصُومُ إِذَا صَامَ ، حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْقَائِلُ : وَاللَّهِ لَا يُفْطِرُ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ لَيُفْطِرُ إِذَا أَفْطَرَ ، حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْقَائِلُ : وَاللَّهِ لَا يَصُومُ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) never fasted an entire month except for Ramadan. However, sometimes he would fast with such continuity that we would say, "Now the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) will not leave any fast," and sometimes he would break his fasts with such continuity that we would say, "Now the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) will not keep any fast."
