حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَصَوْمِهِ تَطَوُّعًا، قَالَ: " كَانَ يَصُومُ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ حَتَّى نَقُولَ مَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا، وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ مَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَصُومَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا، وَمَا كُنَّا نَشَاءُ أَنْ نَرَاهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ مُصَلِّيًا إِلَّا رَأَيْنَاهُ، وَلَا نَرَاهُ نَائِمًا إِلَّا رَأَيْنَاهُ " (٢)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that someone asked Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) about the night prayer and voluntary fasts of the Prophet (ﷺ). He replied that whenever we wished to see the Prophet (ﷺ) praying at night, we could see him, and whenever we intended to see him sleeping, we could also see that. Similarly, in some months, the Prophet (ﷺ) would fast so continuously that we would think he would not leave any fast, and at other times he would leave fasting to the extent that we would say perhaps now the Prophet (ﷺ) will not fast anymore.
