Narrated Aisha:
Quraish used to fast on the day of ‘Ashura’ in the Pre-lslamic period, and Allah’s Apostle too, used
to fast on that day. When he came to Medina, he fasted on that day and ordered others to fast, too.
Later when the fasting of the month of Ramadan was prescribed, he gave up fasting on the day of
‘Ashura’ and it became optional for one to fast on it or not.

Volume 3, Book 31, Number 191:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
The Prophet never fasted in any month more than in the month of Sha’ban. He used to say, “Do
those deeds which you can do easily, as Allah will not get tired (of giving rewards) till you get bored
and tired (of performing religious deeds).” The most beloved prayer to the Prophet was the one that
was done regularly (throughout the life) even if it were little. And whenever the Prophet offered a
prayer he used to offer it regularly .

Volume 3, Book 31, Number 190:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
Allah’s Apostle used to fast till one would say that he would never stop fasting, and he would
abandon fasting till one would say that he would never fast. I never saw Allah’s Apostle fasting for a
whole month except the month of Ramadan, and did not see him fasting in any month more than in
the month of Sha’ban.
