باب ما جاء فى صوم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلمChapter: What has been reported concerning the fasting of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
Fasting the whole month outside Ramadan?
Hadith 299
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: «كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ مَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ مِنْهُ، وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ مَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَصُومَ مِنْهُ، وَمَا صَامَ شَهْرًا كَامِلَا مُنْذُ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ إِلَّا رَمَضَانَ»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), he says that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would fast to such an extent that we would say he will not leave a single day of this month without fasting, and (at times, for many days) he would not fast, to the extent that we would say he does not wish to fast any day of this month. And since he arrived in (Madina Munawwara), he did not fast the complete month in any month except Ramadan.
