حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ کَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلی الله عليه وسلم يَصُومُ حَتَّی نَقُولَ مَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ مِنْهُ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّی نَقُولَ مَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَصُومَ مِنْهُ وَمَا صَامَ شَهْرًا کَامِلا مُنْذُ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ إِلا رَمَضَانَ
شمائل المحمدية / شمائل ترمزی · Hadith 279
Ibn 'Abbaas Radiyallahu 'Anhu relates: "Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam fasted the major portion of the month at times, till we thought that he did not intend ending the fasts. In some months he did not fast, we began to think he would not fast now. Besides Ramadaan he did not fast for a full month".
