The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not fast throughout any month except during ramadan. And when he observed fast (he fasted so continuously) that one would say that he would not break (them) and when he Abandoned, he abandoned (so continuously) that one would say: By Allah, perhaps he would never fast. (Using translation from Muslim 1157a)  

أحمد:٢٧٣٧حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

وَاللهِ مَا صَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ شَهْرًا كَامِلًا قَطُّ غَيْرَ رَمَضَانَ وَكَانَ إِذَا صَامَ صَامَ حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْقَائِلُ وَاللهِ لَا يُفْطِرُوَيُفْطِرُ إِذَا أَفْطَرَ حَتَّى يَقُولُ الْقَائِلُ وَاللهِ لَا يَصُومُ
