أَخْبَرَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لَا يُفْطِرُ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لَا يَصُومُ وَلَمْ أَرَهُ فِي شَهْرٍ أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُ صِيَامًا فِي شَعْبَانَ كَانَ يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا بَلْ كَانَ يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ كُلَّهُ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast until we would say he would not break his fast, and he would break his fast until we would say he would not fast. I did not see him fast more in any month than in Sha'ban. He used to fast all of Sha'ban except a little; rather, he used to fast all of Sha'ban.
