أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ أَبِي کَثِيرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ لَمْ يَکُنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي شَهْرٍ مِنْ السَّنَةِ أَکْثَرَ صِيَامًا مِنْهُ فِي شَعْبَانَ کَانَ يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ کُلَّهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2186
It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: “One of us (women) would miss some fasts in Ramadan and she would not be able to make it up until Sha’ban began, and the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم did not fast in any month as he fasted in a’ban; he used to fast all of it, except a little, he used to fast all of it.” (Sahih)
