سنن نسائی · Hadith 2187

It was narrated that Ab Salamah said: “I asked ‘Aishah: ‘Tell me about the fasting of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم She said: ‘He used to fast until we said: He is going to fast (continually), and he used not to fast until we said: He is not going to fast. He never fasted any month more than Sha’barj. He used to fast (all) of Sha’bán except a little, he used to fast all of Sha’ban.” (Sahih).
