أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دَاوُدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ثَوْرٌ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ الْجُرَشِيِّ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ وَرَمَضَانَ وَيَتَحَرَّی الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2193
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Shaqiq said: “I said to ‘Aishah: ‘Did the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم offer Duha prayer?’ She said: ‘No, unless he was returning from a journey.’ I said: ‘Was the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم known to observe any fast regularly apart from Ramadan?’ She said: ‘By Allah, he did not observe any fast regularly apart from Ramadan until he passed away, and he did not break his fast for a whole month, rather he would fast some of it (each month).” (Sahih)
