[Machine] The Messenger of Allah never fasted a complete month other than Ramadan, even though he used to fast when others fasted. He would continue to fast until people would say, "By Allah, he does not break his fast," and he would break his fast until people would say, "By Allah, he does not fast."  

أحمد:٢٤٥٠ – حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

مَا صَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ شَهْرًا كَامِلًا قَطُّ غَيْرَ رَمَضَانَ وَإِنْ كَانَ لَيَصُومُ إِذَا صَامَ حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْقَائِلُ وَاللهِ لَا يُفْطِرُ وَإِنْ كَانَ لَيُفْطِرُ إِذَا أَفْطَرَ حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْقَائِلُ وَاللهِ لَا يَصُومُ
