It is narrated from Hazrat Aamir bin Masood that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The fast of winter is a cool bounty."

Hazrat Umar says that winter is a blessing for the worshipper.

Hazrat Mujahid says that when the winter season would come, Hazrat Ubaid bin Umair used to say: O people of the Qur'an! The night has become long for your prayers and the day has become short for your fasting. Consider this a blessing.

Hazrat Abu Zahra narrates that when the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would break his fast, he would say: O Allah! I have fasted for You and with Your provision I have broken my fast. Hazrat Rabee’ bin Khuthaym used to say at the time of breaking the fast: All praise is for Allah who granted me the ability so I fasted, and He provided for me and I broke my fast.

10005 - He said: And Al-Rabi‘ ibn (Khuthaym) (1) used to say: Praise be to Allah who helped me so I fasted, and provided for me so I broke my fast.

Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would break his fast with a household, he would say these words: "May those who are fasting break their fast with you, may righteous people eat your food, and may angels descend upon you."

It is narrated from Hazrat Auf bin Malik Ashja'i that Hazrat Umar said: Fasting on any day other than Ramadan and feeding a poor person is equal to fasting in Ramadan.

Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that sometimes the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would fast continuously in such a way during a month that we would feel he would not stop fasting, and sometimes he would stop fasting in such a way that we would feel he would not fast.

Hazrat Usman bin Hakeem says that I asked Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair about fasting in the month of Rajab. He replied that I heard Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas say that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would sometimes fast continuously to such an extent that we would feel he would never stop fasting, and at other times he would leave off fasting to such an extent that we would feel he would not fast.

Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that to the best of my knowledge, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) did not fast an entire month except for Ramadan.
