أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْفَقِيهُ مِنْ أَصْلِهِ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ عَبْدُوسُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ، ثَنَا أَبُو حَاتِمٍ الرَّازِيُّ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي حُمَيْدٌ قَالَ:
سُئِلَ أَنَسٌ، عَنْ صَلَاةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَصَوْمِهِ تَطَوُّعًا قَالَ: كَانَ يَصُومُ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ حَتَّى نَقُولَ مَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا، وَيُفْطِرُ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ حَتَّى نَقُولَ مَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَصُومَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا، وَمَا كُنَّا نَشَاءُ أَنْ نَرَاهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ مُصَلِّيًا إِلَّا رَأَيْنَاهُ، وَلَا نَرَاهُ نَائِمًا إِلَّا رَأَيْنَاهُ

Anas was asked about the voluntary prayer and fasting of the Prophet ﷺ. He said: He would fast during part of the month until we would say he does not want to break any of it, and he would break his fast during part of the month until we would say he does not want to fast any of it. We did not wish to see him praying at night without seeing him, nor to see him sleeping without seeing him.
