[Machine] I heard Aisha say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast until we would say he would not break his fast, and he would break his fast until we would say he would not fast. And he would recite Surah Banu Israel and Surah Az-Zumar every night. Adh-Dhahabi did not mention this in his summary.  

الحاكم:٣٦٢٥ – حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ ثنا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْبَجَلِيُّ ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو لُبَابَةَ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ تَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ مَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ مَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَصُومَ وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ سُورَةَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَالزُّمَرَ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
