Hadith 2135
أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ ، أَنَّ ابْنَ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَهُمْ ، قَالَ : وَأَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصُومُ حَتَّى أَعْرِفَ عَنْهُ ، وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى أَقُولَ : مَا هُوَ بِصَائِمٍ ، وَكَانَ أَكْثَرُ صِيَامِهِ فِي شَعْبَانَ "
Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast to such an extent that I would think he would always fast, and he would stop fasting to such an extent that I would say he will not fast. And he used to fast most often in the month of Sha'ban.
