Hadith 2134
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ جَعْفَرٍ . ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ ، قَالا : حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ ، قَالَ : سُئِلَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ عَنْ صَوْمِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " كَانَ يَصُومُ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ حَتَّى نَرَى أَنَّهُ لا يُرِيدُ يُفْطِرُ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا ، وَيُفْطِرُ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ حَتَّى نَرَى أَنَّهُ لا يُرِيدُ يَصُومُ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا . وَكُنْتَ لا تَشَاءُ أَنْ تَرَاهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ مُصَلِّيًا إِلا رَأَيْتَهُ ، وَلا نَائِمًا إِلا رَأَيْتَهُ " . هَذَا حَدِيثُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ . وَفِي حَدِيثِ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ : سُئِلَ أَنَسٌ عَنْ صَلاةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَصَوْمِهِ تَطَوُّعًا
Hazrat Humaid narrates that it was asked from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) about the fasts of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), so he said that the Prophet would keep fasting in a month to such an extent that we would think he does not want to leave any day without fasting in that month. And then he would stop fasting in a month to such an extent that we would think he will not fast at all in that month. And you could see him praying at any part of the night if you wished, and if you wished, you could see him sleeping. This narration is from Isma'il bin Ja'far. And in the narration of Khalid bin Harith, it is mentioned that Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the voluntary prayers and fasts of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
