It is narrated from Abdullah bin Shaqiq that he asked Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) about the voluntary fasts of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). She said: To my knowledge, in whichever month the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) observed (voluntary) fasts, he would also leave some days without fasting, and in whichever month he did not fast, he would still observe some fasts in it. This remained his practice until his passing.
