Sahih Muslim 1156f (Book 13, Hadith 228) #9867
Fasting During Sha'ban

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to fast a lot during the month of Sha'ban, more than any other month.

Abu Salama reported: I asked 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) about the fasting of the Messenger of Allah . She said: He used to observe fast (at times so continuously) that we said: He has fasted (never to break), and he did not observe fast till we said: He has given up perhaps never to fast, and I never saw him observing (voluntary fasts) more in any other month than that of Sha'ban. (lt appeared as if) he observed fast throughout the whole of Sha'ban except a few (days).
وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، - قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، - عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَبِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ - رضى الله عنها - عَنْ صِيَامِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ صَامَ ‏.‏ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ أَفْطَرَ ‏.‏ وَلَمْ أَرَهُ صَائِمًا مِنْ شَهْرٍ قَطُّ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ صِيَامِهِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ كَانَ يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ كُلَّهُ كَانَ يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Abu Salama and Aisha (RA) speaks about the fasting habits of the beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It is reported that he used to observe fast at times so continuously that people around him thought he would never break his fast. He also did not observe fast until people thought he would never do it again. It is said that in no other month did he observe voluntary fasts more than in the month of Sha’bān, almost as if he was fasting throughout the whole month except for a few days. This hadith teaches us about how devoted and dedicated our beloved prophet was towards his worship and how much importance should be given to fasting during this blessed month. We should strive to follow in his footsteps by increasing our acts of worship during this time, especially fasting which has many benefits both physically and spiritually.
