ahmad-zuhd:1119ʿAbdullāh from my father > Yazīd > Ḥumayd > Thābit > Anas

[Machine] That Abu Talhah used to fast a lot during the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and he did not break his fast until he met Allah except due to illness or travel.  

الزهد لأحمد:١١١٩حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَنْبَأَنَا حُمَيْدٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ كَانَ يُكْثِرُ الصَّوْمَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَمَا أَفْطَرَ بَعْدَهُ حَتَّى لَقِيَ اللَّهَ ﷻ إِلَّا مِنْ مَرَضٍ أَوْ فِي سَفَرٍ

كَانَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ لا يُكْثِرُ الصَّوْمَ عَلَى عَهْدِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ كَانَ لَا يُفْطِرُ إِلَّا فِي سَفَرٍ أَوْ مَرَضٍ
