ahmad:13174Rawḥ > Ḥammād > Thābit > Anas b. Mālik

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to fast until it was said that he had fasted, and he would break his fast until it was said that he had broken his fast.  

أحمد:١٣١٧٤حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَصُومُ حَتَّى يُقَالَ وقَدْ صَامَ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى يُقَالَ قَدْ أَفْطَرَ

Anas (Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to observe fast till it was said that he had observed fast, he had observed fast (perhaps never to break it), and he did not fast till it was said that he had given up fast, he had given up fast (perhaps never to observe it).
