حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ صَوْمِ النَّبِيِّ، صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ

كَانَ يَصُومُ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ حَتَّى نَرَى أَنَّهُ لاَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ مِنْهُ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَرَى أَنَّهُ لاَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَصُومَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا وَكُنْتَ لاَ تَشَاءُ أَنْ تَرَاهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ مُصَلِّيًا إِلاَّ رَأَيْتَهُ مُصَلِّيًا وَلاَ نَائِمًا إِلاَّ رَأَيْتَهُ نَائِمًا ‏

Jafar bin Humaid narrated that:

Anas bin Malik was asked about the Prophet's fasting and he said: "He would fast during a month until we thought that he did not want to abstain from fasting during any of it. And, he would not fast during a month until we thought that he did not want to fast during any of it. (There was no time) that I wanted to see if he was performing Salat during the night, except that I would see him praying, nor to see him sleeping, except that I would see him sleeping."

Reported by At-Tirmidhi (No. 769) and Al-Bukhari (No. 1141, 1972).

Al-Mubarakfuri — Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi

قَوْلُهُ : ( كَانَ يَصُومُ مِنْ الشَّهْرِ ) أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً ( حَتَّى يُرَى ) بِصِيغَةِ الْمَجْهُولِ أَيْ حَتَّى يُظَنَّ , وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لِلْبُخَارِيِّ حَتَّى نَظُنَّ ( أَنْ يُفْطِرَ مِنْهُ ) أَيْ مِنْ الشَّهْرِ ( فَكُنْتَ لَا تَشَاءُ أَنْ تَرَاهُ مِنْ اللَّيْلِ مُصَلِّيًا إِلَخْ ) وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لِلْبُخَارِيِّ : مَا كُنْت أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَرَاهُ مِنْ الشَّهْرِ صَائِمًا إِلَّا رَأَيْته وَلَا مُفْطِرًا إِلَّا رَأَيْته , وَلَا مِنْ اللَّيْلِ قَائِمًا إِلَّا رَأَيْته وَلَا نَائِمًا إِلَّا رَأَيْته. قَالَ الْحَافِظُ فِي الْفَتْحِ : يَعْنِي أَنَّ حَالَهُ فِي التَّطَوُّعِ بِالصِّيَامِ وَالْقِيَامِ كَانَ يَخْتَلِفُ فَكَانَ تَارَةً يَقُومُ مِنْ أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ وَتَارَةً فِي وَسَطِهِ وَتَارَةً م…

The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to leave fasting in a certain month until we would think that he has not fasted at all that month; and he used to fast in another month so much that we would think he has not stopped fasting at all in that month. If one wished to see him praying at night, one could see him (in that state), and if one wished to see him sleeping at night, one could see him (in that state) too
