5. Fasting
٥۔ كِتَابُ الصِّيَامِ
"I asked Aishah: 'Tell me about the fasting of the Messenger of Allah.' She said: 'he used to fast until we said: he is going to fast until we said: He is not going to fast. He never fasted any month more than Shaban. He used to fast (all) of Shaban except a little, he used to fast all of Shaban."' ' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2179)
عَنْ صِيَامِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ «كَانَ يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ صَامَ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ أَفْطَرَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَصُومُ شَهْرًا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ كَانَ يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا كَانَ يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ كُلَّهُ»
"The Messenger of Allah did not fast in any month of the year more than he did in Shaban. He used to fast all of Shaban." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2180)
«لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي شَهْرٍ مِنَ السَّنَةِ أَكْثَرَ صِيَامًا مِنْهُ فِي شَعْبَانَ كَانَ يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ كُلَّهُ»
"The Prophet used to fast Shaban." ' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2181)
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ»
"I do not know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the whole Qur'an in one night, or spent a whole night in worship until dawn, or that he ever fasted an entire month apart from Ramadan." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1641)
«لَا أَعْلَمُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ كُلَّهُ فِي لَيْلَةٍ وَلَا قَامَ لَيْلَةً حَتَّى الصَّبَّاحَ وَلَا صَامَ شَهْرًا كَامِلًا غَيْرَ رَمَضَانَ»
""I asked 'Aishah about the fasting of the Messenger of Allah. She said: 'The Messenger of Allah used to fast until we said that he is going to fast (continually), and he used not to fast until we said: he is not going to fast. And he did not fast for a whole month from the time he came to Al-Madinah, apart from Ramadan."' ' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2183)
عَنْ صِيَامِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ صَامَ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ أَفْطَرَ وَلَمْ يَصُمْ شَهْرًا تَامًّا مُنْذُ أَتَى الْمَدِينَةَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ رَمَضَانَ»
"I said to Aishah: 'Did the Messenger of Allah offer Duha prayer? She said: "No, unless he was returning from a journey, I Did the Messenger of Allah fast an entire month?' She said: 'No, I do not remember him fasting any month in full apart from Ramadan, and he did not break his fast for a whole month, rather he would fast some of (each month) until he passed away."' ' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2184)
قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي صَلَاةَ الضُّحَى؟ قَالَتْ «لَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَجِيءَ مِنْ مَغِيبِهِ» قُلْتُ أَكَانَ يَصُومُ شَهْرًا كُلَّهُ؟ قَالَتْ «مَا عَلِمْتُهُ صَامَ شَهْرًا كُلَّهُ إِلَّا رَمَضَانَ وَلَا أَفْطَرَ حَتَّى يَصُومَ مِنْهُ حَتَّى مَضَى لِسَبِيلِهِ»
'I said to Aishah: 'did the Messenger of Allah offer Duah prayer?' she said: 'No, unless he was returning from a journey.' I said: 'was the Messenger of Allah known to observe any fast regularly apart from Ramadan?'' She said: 'by Allah, he did not observe any fast regularly apart from amadan until he passed away, and he did not break his fast for a whole month, rather he would fast some of it (each month).""( ' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2185)
قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي صَلَاةَ الضُّحَى؟ قَالَتْ لَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَجِيءَ مِنْ مَغِيبِهِ قُلْتُ هَلْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَهُ صَوْمٌ مَعْلُومٌ سِوَى رَمَضَانَ؟ قَالَتْ «وَاللهِ إِنْ صَامَ شَهْرًا مَعْلُومًا سِوَى رَمَضَانَ حَتَّى مَضَى لِوَجْهِهِ وَلَا أَفْطَرَ حَتَّى يَصُومَ مِنْهُ»
