[Machine] Marwan Abu Lubabah from the tribe of Bani Uqayl narrated that Aisha said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast to the point that we would say he will not break his fast, and he would break his fast to the point that we would say he will not fast. And he would recite the entire night the stories of the Children of Israel and the chapter of Az-Zumar."
