Hadith 1178
ثنا حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ خَشْرَمٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ ، قَالَتْ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا عَمَلَ عَمَلا أَثْبَتَهُ ، قَالَتْ : وَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " قَامَ لَيْلَةً حَتَّى الصَّبَّاحِ ، وَلا صَامَ شَهْرًا مُتَتَابِعًا إِلا رَمَضَانَ "
Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed any deed, he would do it consistently. She says that she never saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) pray the night prayer (tahajjud) for the entire night until morning, nor did he fast for an entire month continuously except for the month of Ramadan.
